Fifty years after King’s assassination, we at IMAN remain committed to driving out darkness, hatred, poverty and the blight of devastating structural racism from the inner-city communities that we serve.

Only Light, Only Love is a weeklong series of events focused on building the powerful, permeating love which—by necessity—”implements the demands of justice” as Dr. King demanded that it should over five decades ago.
