Each year, Bates College celebrates MLK Day by hosting lectures, discussions, and arts/cultural events to encourage reflection on Dr. King’s legacy, the Civil Rights Movement, and the struggle for Social Justice as it exists today.  During the entire day there will be a looping video exhibit in the Perry Atrium of Bates College, featuring movies by local videomakers about issues that affect Maine people. The event will take place on January 18th, 2010, and is free and open to the public.  This year, the day’s theme will be “Faith in the Public Sphere.”
