Paper Quilt Exhibit Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Junior

“Our goal is to create a beloved community and 
this will require a qualitative change in our souls 
as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”

~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The fabric of a community is made by its people.  Each member adds to the fabric of the community in which they live.  It is the actions of the residents that make a community functional, diverse, and rich. 

Our communities create the fabric of our region. Our regions create the fabric of our states. The states creates the fabric of our country. Our countries create the fabric of our world.

Our children are our future.  If they can begin to connect with the social fabric in which we live, and find inspiration from great leaders like Dr. King, then there is hope for a better world.
