A Handbook for Building Beloved Community

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Shirley Strong challenges us to move beyond surface understanding of social justice work toward recognition of the essential transformations, personal and institutional, that lead to fundamental change. In Martin Luther King’s delineation of Beloved Community, she finds the principles she has built upon in her own work and in the guidance she provides to others. The authenticity with which she shares her story supports the reader as we reflect on our own stories and consider action. Her questions guide, encourage, and challenge us to build a community that will sustain us through these fraught times.”
