For 40 years, the NAACP in Maine has hosted a community event to honor the legacy of slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The tradition will continue this year with a day-long virtual celebration.
The observance is the largest held in Maine and traditionally features a gospel concert, interfaith community dialogue, youth program and a dinner. This year, the celebration is a virtual teach-in and call-to-action that will include about two dozen sessions featuring speakers from across Maine and from a variety of organizations.
