Be a Link in the Chain of Change!

We are proud to announce an exciting statewide initiative in which we will (re)visit Mel King’s 1981 title, Chain of Change: Struggles For Black Community Development. 

Although it was originally published in 1981, the ideas and observations King complied from his experience as an activist, public servant and community builder in this book are timeless. Therefore, we can use Chain of Change as a field guide on how to effectively build community, solidarity, and coalitions. Learn more on November 14 at our Chain of Change Webinar and Q&A!
