Drawing from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the mission of the Beloved Community Center of Greensboro (BCC) is to foster and model a spirit of community that promotes social, economic, and personal relationships that affirm and realize the equality, dignity, worth, and potential of everyone.

The BCC works across divides of racial, ethnic, economic, social, and political differences to address human rights issues, including labor, education, youth, homelessness, police conduct, and democratic participation.

The truth and reconciliation process has had a significant role in forming the BCC and impacting the community of Greensboro. Initiated in 2002, the Greensboro Truth and Community Reconciliation Project (GTCRP) has worked to examine the context, causes, sequence and consequences of the November 3rd, 1979 murders of five labor and racial justice organizers by Ku Klux Klan and American Nazi members, in league with local, state and federal law officials. The Project initiated a democratic process to select the seven member Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission. After two years of public hearings, interviews, in-depth research and deliberation, the Commission published a 529 page Final Report in May, 2006. To read more, please visit http://www.gtcrp.org.
