For Such A Time As This

Max Studios - University of St. Thomas - Houston, Tx

For Such A Time As This examines the current issues of today through the lenses of Catholic Social Teaching and Social Justice. Through conversations with thought leaders from across the community we ask and seek answers to the big questions in life: What is the fair and ethical treatment of all human beings? What is your goal for all human being's in 2036? Working backwards from this point, 2036, we can begin to discuss the components necessary to actualize the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and build the Beloved Community.
