After 25 years of community enhancement work in Jackson, IMMC has partnered with local organizations expand the Beloved Community project, fostering social cohesion, economic empowerment, and cultural enrichment through collaborative initiatives that address education, social justice, and community resilience.
International Museum of Muslim Cultures along with our many community partners are serving as catalysts to bring a “beloved community” to our city inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King and Imam Warith Deen Mohammad.
Our unique initiative is based on respect for human dignity and transformative social impact work. We are dedicated to developing a thriving and sustainable community model with the goal of positively impacting quality of life for all through affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, better schools, transformative justice, healthcare accessibility, clean water and air, fair wages, and cultural appreciation. This work started with community surveying and canvassing and is now in the phase of model ideation.
This project is generously supported by the Kellogg Foundation.
