A Conversation about Service and the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King’s life and work has inspired generations of Americans to serve and make the world a better place.  Each year we pause to reflect on his legacy of service and its meaning in today’s world.

Creating Legacies families gathered on Saturday, February 1, 2014 to read an excerpt from W.E.B. DuBois’s 1898 commencement address at Fisk University and talked about the personal and social importance of public service and civic engagement.  We look forward to more family community conversations in the months to come.  We hope that you will join us.

A Conversation about Immigration

For many of us, immigration has shaped our history, and influences who we are individually and collectively.  Creating Legacies families gathered on Saturday, August 24, 2013 for A Community Conversation about Immigration to read an excerpt of Lyndon B. Johnson’s, "Remarks about the Signing of the 1965 Immigration Bill."  We talked about the ways immigration continues to shape the experience of being American today.  We look forward to more intergenerational community conversations in the months to come and hope that you will join us.
