Workshop Information
Location: Commonwealth College Center (G building) Cafeteria
Description: Dr. King is remembered for the speech he gave at the 1963 March in Washington, in August 1963. However, beyond the “dream” he discussed on that occasion, was a complex man who had devoted his life to fighting for civil rights and eliminating inequality and poverty. This workshop will discuss who the “real” Dr. King was, as well as his contribution to the history of the United States.
Facilitator: Dr. Ronald Weisberger, Director of the Bristol Holocaust and Genocide Center
Location: Commonwealth College Center (G building) Lobby
Description: Participants can decorate kindness rocks and place them in special places in the community. The purpose of these rocks is to cultivate connections within communities and lift others up through simple acts of kindness. Take one for motivation, share one for inspiration or join us and add to a Pocket of Peace and Positivity.
