The Amherst Human Rights Commission and the Amherst Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will sponsor a celebration of the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on January 15, from 1-3 p.m. at the Bangs Community Center. The event will include a community reading of King’s speech, “The Quest for Peace and Justice”. The event is free an open to the public. Registration is not required but appreciated. Register here.
A quote from “The Quest for Peace and Justice follows:
“All that I have said boils down to the point of affirming that mankind’s survival is dependent upon man’s ability to solve the problem of racial injustice, poverty, and war; the solution of these is in turn dependent upon man squaring his moral progress with his scientific progress and learning the practical art of living.”
