We're proud of our accomplishments this year and hope you'll take the time to read the LLP's 2021 Year in Review.
As we outlined the content for our 2021 Year in Review, we found it hard to believe that so much had happened in a year! Even though it was a year without in-person pilgrimages, we managed to engage more people than ever before through virtual programming. We held ten webinars on inspirational and important topics from the music of civil rights and social protest to Critical Race Theory.
