On Sunday, Feb. 26, the Beloved Community Team of St. Stephen’s Memorial Episcopal Church in Lynn and the Church of St. Andrew in Marblehead will host a community conversation about the murder of Tyre Nichols. The event will be from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., at St. Stephen’s, 74 South Common St, Lynn.
In this conversation, spurred by recent outrage at the killing of Nichols at the hands of police in Memphis, community members are invited to explore what this event means to us as citizens of the United States and what it means on a local level. What can we do as citizens both nationally and locally to address injustice — and ultimately establish a just and hopeful world?
“This is important work during a month that is dedicated to Blacks in America,” said Helen Patmon, Beloved Community Team leader. “Please join us in solidarity and hope and be the change you want in the world!”
The afternoon will be facilitated by Zena Link, acting director of the Mission Institute, public school educator and strategist for community organizations. Link has national-level experience in consulting with organizations committed to the systemic fair treatment of all persons in order to facilitate equitable outcomes.
The event is free and open to the public.
