At the June 4th Transform Westside Summit, devotion speaker Rev. Eric Hurst delivered a call to mindfulness from the pulpit of Mount Moriah Baptist Church. Drawing inspiration from the biblical story of the efforts to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, Rev. Hurst spoke on the collective effort to revitalize Atlanta’s Historic Westside:

It’s going to take all of us, the haves and the have-nots working together to rebuild this community.”
