from President Garibaldi\u2019s Jan 18 email to our Board of Trustees:<\/u><\/p>\n

“Our students and community are preparing for three events to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Leading into MLK Jr. Week, members of the Princeton Street Block Club will be on campus today for cider, donuts, fun, and games exploring the link between racial, economic, and food justice.\u00a0On Monday, students, staff and community members will board up vacant homes and clean lots around the Fitzgerald Community for the \u201cMake it a Day On, Not a Day Off\u201d event. And on Thursday, students from Osborn High School (Detroit Public Schools) will be on campus to meet Detroit Mercy students for \u201cYouth in Action Day.\u201d They will also learn from Public Safety how they can be safe and enhance their own communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBut the end is reconciliation;
\nthe end is redemption;
\nthe end is the creation of the\u00a0beloved community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is this type of spirit and this type of love
\nthat can transform opposers into friends . . .
\nIt is an overflowing love which seeks nothing in return.\u201d<\/p>\n
