You Cannot Walk Alone
There is a moment in Martin Luther King’s historic ‘I have a dream’ speech when he turns his attention to the White people who, realising their destiny and that of their Black fellow
citizens was intertwined, joined in the movement for equal rights. “They have come to realise that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom,” he said…… “We cannot walk alone.”
This year for Refugee Week we will be reflecting this message - people from different communities and causes coming together to show support. Standing together and walking together with refugees. There will be a series of Community Engagement projects with online activities and community walks across the city.
