A monumental event at LVC took place Friday, Sept. 15, spotlighting Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr., King spoke at Miller Chapel. Her appearance was a part of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission\u2019s Social Justice Lecture Series, and her talk was a fall kick off for the Inclusive Excellence Symposium that will take place in the spring at LVC.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

King was a panelist where she was asked questions that were submitted by the audience. She was asked to weigh in on a number of different topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

King talked about her upbringing in a household that prioritized serving people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI understood that all my future work would serve humanity,\u201d King said. \u201cI never ran from the notion of that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also talked about her current work as CEO of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change (The King Center). \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe focus on injustice and evil, not people,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s hard for people to grasp. Nonviolence is the heart and soul of the institution.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

King also highlighted how important humankind is. She emphasized how humankind must be at the center of this world. She also talked about how humans should be open to one another, no matter our differences.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to be intelligent, holistically,\u201d she added. \u201cDon\u2019t be narrow-minded.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This preview to the Inclusive Excellence Symposium was fitting to this year\u2019s theme of belonging at LVC. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
