Shoutout to the HRI team for joining the Chain of Change! ?? We’re happy to see that you have enjoyed discussing Mel’s timeless work and thought leadership together.
We’re proud to be a link in the #MKIChainOfChange. Inspired by the wisdom of the late Mel King, we've launched a book group with our staff to learn, grow, and carry forward his powerful lessons on community, equity, and transformation. Here’s a powerful poem by Mel King : “Thoughts on a Dream Deferred the dream is in the process and not the outcome it is found in the struggle for peace and not in achieving it in the working of the artist and not in the creation in the sun’s rays and not the sun in the belief we can” – Mel King
