The Beloved Community International Expo serves as an all-encompassing experience for global citizens to unite in celebration of Dr. King’s love-centered vision of the Beloved Community, where peace and harmony for all cultures can be achieved through nonviolence. In collaboration with the National Historic Park and the Atlanta Consular Corps (representing more than 35 countries and other key stakeholders), The King Center’s historic campus is transformed into a “World House!” People of all ages can travel around the world without leaving “Sweet Auburn Avenue.” The Expo celebrates global culture by showcasing captivating performances, curated creative works, politics, food, music, dance and more, from societies around the World! Join us September 12th, from 11AM-5:00PM ET for an experience you won’t forget!
