Helping communities create & unlock value in neighborhoods
Our Name
The Oughtness Group name is derived from a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s Nobel Peace Prize speech.
“I refuse to accept the idea that the ‘isness’ of a man’s current nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up to the eternal 'oughtness' that forever confronts him.”
–Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
