The annual celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that usually fills the center of Wellfleet has no boundaries this year.
Organizers from the artpeacemakers group that has for 19 years presented the WalKING Meditation and related activities had talked from the start about potentially spreading out their commemoration of the holiday that honors King’s life. Did they want, Harriet Korim says, to “share the recipe for a non-religious observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, focusing on creativity and family-friendliness, far and wide”?
For 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic made the decision for them.
While Candace Perry says she and other organizers are disappointed that safety concerns won’t allow them to gather people together as usual, “we are planning many other activities.” Korim notes in a phone interview that “for artists, limitations are often the spark of new ideas.”
