“No, white people don’t have to apologize. Just embrace the truth.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Interfaith Association of Central Ohio honors Dr. King’s call to truth — truth that leads not to shame, but to understanding, accountability, and transformation.

Interfaith work asks us to listen honestly to one another’s stories, to confront hard realities with courage, and to commit ourselves to justice rooted in compassion. Embracing truth is how healing begins — across races, religions, and communities.

Today, we recommit ourselves to the work of truth-telling, bridge-building, and the pursuit of a beloved community for all.
