Justice and Community (EJC), would like to encourage all members of the
Sidwell Friends School (SFS) community to join us in celebrating the life
and works of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the spirit of shared service and
community, volunteers will gather for a brief period of query-centered
discussion followed by outreach to members of the local community. We will
then regroup for a short time of reflection before closing with a moment of
silence.
