The Stoughton Diversity & Inclusion Organization (SDIO) put on an amazing celebration of the life of the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. on Jan.18, in celebrating his birthday, which was Jan. 15. The event was well-attended on Zoom, and featured a number of readings, performances and discussions. The one hour event featured a wide spectrum of diverse people, from not only Stoughton, but literally from around the world.
The topic of the event was, The Year Ahead, and Stoughton Select Board member
Debra Roberts said, As the first black elected person to the Select Board in Stoughton, I believe you and I can be agents for change in our society. We can live Dr. King s dream. I, Debra Roberts, propose that we, Stoughton, take measure to define, understand, and act upon to live Dr. King s dream. If you believe we can, join me in saying,, Yes, we can. There is no place for racism in Stoughton in 2021, as we honor his memory.
