During “Keeping the Dream Alive” program, we will lift up how people of faith can still be part of the continuing struggle for racial justice. Join us for inspiring worship and learn about what some United Methodist Churches are doing to act on our conviction that “racism is incompatible with Christian teaching”. Light refreshments will be served prior to this gathering.
Watch a Livestream of the worship on Chicago: Temple's Facebook page.
Join us to show your support for making a more just and equitable world! We will take part in a traditional march and rally to make a statement that we are keeping the dream of racial equality alive!
Sponsored by the Northern Illinois Conference Anti-Racism Task Force

On August 28, 1963 – 250,000 people assembled in Washington, DC standing up for civil rights and racial justice. This important day in American history featured stirring music, and inspiring remarks including the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s unforgettable, “I Have a Dream” speech.
This event is meant to commemorate the work done by those who came before us, celebrate our churches and partnering organizations who are doing anti-racism work today, and march together on Daley Plaza as a visible demonstration that the United Methodist Church and collaborating organizations are Keeping the Dream Alive. We would love to have you join us at the event.
