RALEIGH, N.C. (RNS) Wrapped around the porch molding of a blue clapboard house in this capital city is a saying inscribed on thin sheets of red oak:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that. — Martin Luther King Jr.”
The saying is a fitting tribute to three young Muslims whose lives were cut short by a Chapel Hill gunman two years ago Friday (Feb. 10), and it graces the Light House Project, a new community center and incubator for faith-based social entrepreneurship dedicated in their memory last week.

The Light House Project is one more testament to the legacy of the Chapel Hill shootings, as they’ve come to be known.
