Presented by Sweet Potato Comfort Pie organization, this event is a community celebration of Dr. King and his enduring dream of Beloved Community. It will feature music, artists, food and refreshments, and time for audience members to engage in facilitated "story circle" conversations about racial healing. Since the first event 10 years ago, the event has grown from an average of 80 to 400 participants.

The holiday weekend of service begins with community members gathering on Saturday to bake 96 sweet potato comfort pies, the number that represents Dr. King's age if he were alive today. These pies become an integral part of Sunday's program as attendees engage in discussion and decide whom to uplift or honor with a pie.

A recognition pre-program kicks off at 1:30 p.m. and will honor several community figures with the Upholding Our Beloved Community Awards. During this time, attendees will also be able to view SPCP's photo exhibit, Character Values: Upholding Our Beloved Community.
