Each year, Bates College celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr.
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

Bates College, featuring movies by local filmmakers
about issues that affect Maine people. The event will take place on
Jan. 18, 2010, and is free and open to the public. This year, the day’s
theme will be “Faith in the Public Sphere.”
