Honoring Dr. King in a Time That Demands Courage
Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with honesty, not comfort, recognizing his warning against calling people “outsiders” and his truth that racism remains deeply embedded in our nation. In a time when communities are being divided and history is erased, RCF Connects sees clearly who is included, who is excluded. RCF remains committed to standing with our neighbors, supporting leaders who tell the truth and stay rooted in community, and choosing courage and action over silence, as we have for the past 25 years and will continue to do in the years ahead.
