A Creative Community Building Week

[18 January 2009 - Creative Community Building Program, University of Connecticut] This week brings special attention to creative communitybuilding in the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday and the Inauguration of Barack Obama on Tuesday. The many festivities going on locally and nationally are reminders of the importance of service, social justice, hope, transformation and creativity. Indeed, MLK once reminded us that "almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better" and every person "must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." Let these few days be reminders to us to become creative people of hope, people of service, people of justice and people of peace.
