On January 20, 2025, in the early dark of a frigid morning, the two of us attended
the 2nd annual DuPage Foundation Martin Luther King Jr breakfast celebration at Drury Lane
in Oak Brook. The event was sold out at 1400 people. The crowd included representatives
from municipalities, agencies, organizations, faith traditions, and honorees from all over
DuPage County, gathered in unity of purpose to promote equity and equality among all
citizens in this area. The program was inspiring! Many people are enthusiastically engaged
in working to overcome injustices and make this County a better place for all.
As always, we moved from that event to the annual Peoples Community Church observance, a
panel discussion featuring representatives from local agencies working to expand Dr.
King's dream in/around the Glen Ellyn area. We assisted with the program, deepened ties
with people we've come to know there, and worked to become better known in the circle of
folks doing this work. We left with souls replete, in the knowledge that we aren't alone;
many others are engaged in the process, and the more we connect, the greater the chances
of success.
We Baha'is should be leading the way in the work of eliminating racism, and this holiday
is a ready-made opportunity to join the elevated conversations of like-minded groups, as
the Universal House of Justice has encouraged us to do. I propose that next year the
Baha'i Community in DuPage County work to take a part in this eventful day! Let's
talk.
Thanks,
