The Beloved Community Center of Greensboro is an organization committed to affirming and realizing the equality, dignity, worth, and potential of every person and to confronting the systems of domination that prevent us from doing so. Using community as a framing concept, the BCC has built an impressive base within grassroots communities in Greensboro and a growing network of progressive activists and organizers from various racial groups and social classes. Although we are focused in Greensboro, our work and influence reach far beyond this city.

The BCC concept of community is best characterized as authentic, equitable, non-dominating relationships rather than mere commonalities of place, race, gender and gender preference, age, geography or social and economic circumstances. All of the categories mentioned gain part of their contemporary meaning either as dominated or dominating entities and often both. All have to be made whole by the spirit of community that transforms dominating or dominated relationship into relationships of mutual non-dominating affirmation.

Everyone, no matter your social or economic standing, can contribute to the building of a beloved community. You can become an active and participating member of the Beloved Community Center. Read more »
