Our Voting Rights: The Struggle Continues – A 2022 Martin Luther King Jr. Brookline Celebration.
MLK Day is not only a recognition of Martin Luther King’s martyrdom in the struggle for racial equity but it is a reminder of how far we still have to go to achieve equality. This year’s program includes several different groups, each discussing issues of race and social justice from different perspectives.
