WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Bahamas Consulate General Atlanta posted a collection of photos on Facebook taken at the Beloved Community International Expo in Atlanta that I absolutely had to share with readers of my online publication, BAHAMA CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean.
The Bahamas Consulate General Atlanta posted the photos with the following narrative:
“It was a beautiful day celebrating our amazing country, at Dr. Martin Luther King’s annual Beloved Community International Expo, where The Bahamas Consulate General showcased our culture on the streets along with tasty samples of Guava Duff; what a treat.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: According to information gleaned from the Internet: The Beloved Community International Expo serves as an all-encompassing experience for global citizens to unite in celebration of Dr. King’s love-centered vision of the Beloved Community, where peace and harmony for all cultures can be achieved through nonviolence.
In collaboration with the National Historic Park and the Atlanta Consular Corps (representing more than 20 countries and other key stakeholders), The King Center’s historic campus is transformed into a “World House!” People of all ages can travel around the world without leaving “Sweet Auburn Avenue.”
The Expo celebrates global culture by showcasing captivating performances, curated creative works, politics, food, music, dance and more, from societies around the World!
