Somewhere I Read
Home for Cultural Renewal
We’re an independent media organization and civic initiative grounded in pursuit of truth, natural beauty, art, and service.
Sharing the voices and stories that make us American, we stand for equality, moral clarity, empathy, and courage.
“What we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness – but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another.”

OUR INSPIRATION
In his final public appearance before being assassinated in April 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a historic address in Memphis prophetically known as I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.
Speaking of inequality, peaceful protest, unity, and encouraging America to live up to its fundamental ideals, his moving speech remains more relevant than ever to all of us today.
“All we say to America is,
’Be true to what you said on paper.’
Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”
