Northampton, MA, December 23, 2009 – On Monday, January 19, 2009,
a full day of community events are planned to celebrate the life and work
of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Involving special guests, including Juanita

Everyone is invited to a special MLK lunch (12:00 noon) followed by

expressions of their contemporary hopes and dreams will be video recorded
and edited by community youth and later sent to President Obama.
The daytime events are free, accessible and open to all.
