3rd Annual MLK365
BEER SUMMIT
:
A Continuing Conversation
on Race Relations 

In the aftermath of the summer, 2009 arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates on his own front porch by Cambridge police sergeant James Crowley, President Obama invited the two to the White House to discuss the incident.  At the same time in Center City, Philadelphia, Global Citizen and MLK365 organized our own Beer Summit for concerned citizens to meet, mingle, and discuss race relations in our city and throughout America.

Please join us for our 3rd annual Beer Summit, along with our special guest, Yale professor Elijah Anderson, to continue our discussion about race, class, and power and how we can overcome the barriers that have divided us.  Professor Anderson's latest book,
The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility in Everyday Life, will serve as the backdrop and theme for our discussion.

Also, learn more about MLK365 and ongoing opportunities to address these issues through citizen action. Use this web page to register for the Beer Summit. To learn more about Global Citizen, visit

Global Citizen & MLK365



Global Citizen is non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement, community volunteering, civic responsibility and sustained active citizenship among diverse groups, particularly young people.

Our issues of focus include poverty, homelessness, at-risk youth, education, public health, digital inclusion, energy and the environment.  Global Citizen is a weaver of community webs, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds.  We work to build diverse partnerships through volunteer service, thus realizing how much more we have in common than our differences.

Global Citizen was founded by Todd Bernstein, who helped Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis create the National Martin Luther King Day of Service in 1994.  Bernstein started the first local King Day of Service in Philadelphia in 1996.

MLK365 is a year-round program that promotes sustainable civic engagement and volunteer opportunities. 

The goal of MLK365 is to ensure that Dr. King's legacy and principles are embraced throughout the entire year.  The initiative emphasizes Dr. King's legacy of nonviolence, social justice, equality and excellence.

MLK365 serves as a year-round clearing house for continuing service opportunities, as well as supporting and designing volunteer programs for its partners.
