Salvation South See other projects related to this listing. About Salvation South will be inspired by hope and healing and — most importantly — the desire to create a place on the web and a community of people where civil conversation can happen. Salvation South will be a publication for people who believe that our region — the American South — actually could become the “beloved community” envisioned by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Salvation South will ask you questions and welcome your answers, because we believe the beloved community can be built only through a persistent dedication to conversation — even, sometimes, with people who disagree with you.
