Beloved Community
Martin Luther King’s philosophy of the Beloved Community comes to life in this vivid, multicultural poster. Layers of color, representing different regions of the world, stack on top of one another in this high quality reproduction of an original silkscreen by Silk Oak. The result is a beautiful, lively image of togetherness illustrating the concept of Beloved Community espoused by Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Far beyond the causes of non-violence and desegregation, King’s vision can be more comprehensively described as one of a society of wholeness, where brotherhood and unity can be actualized.
Dr. King’s concept of the Beloved Community stands as complete in itself, and can manifest without divisiveness, in our society, artwork, and in our lives. Very much like the philosophy of yoga, King looked toward spiritual oneness to transcend the world of opposition.
Perfect for the wall of any home, classroom, office, or public space seeking to invite an integrated understanding of the world, this poster portrays a core aspect of what MLK lived for, and brings the vision into the present moment.
Text on poster: When Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of "beloved community" he was describing the ultimate goal of non-violent activism for peace and justice -- a global community of caring where poverty, hunger and injustice are no more.
