The Truth that Will Liberate Us All
The thing about truth is it takes us where it takes us. | Ralph Douglas West
February 15-17, 2024 | Baylor University | Waco, TX
“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of the status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. But today our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.” | Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go From Here?
