After 25 years of community enhancement work in Jackson, IMMC has partnered with local organizations to expand the Beloved Community project, fostering cultural enrichment, economic empowerment, wellness and education development, and social cohesion and community resilience.
The International Museum of Muslim Cultures along with 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, fair economic opportunity, and increased cultural appreciation. This work started with model ideation and community surveying and canvassing generously supported by the Kellogg Foundation.
The Beloved Community Partnership (BCP) is now in its Hub implementation stage that will see the opening of centers focused on Arts & Culture, Education, Health & Wellness, Entrepreneurship, and Transformative Justice. This stage of the BCP is generously supported by the IMMC.
