The school held the Martin Luther King Day convocation with a number of presenters offering insight to the importance and significance of this day. Jerri Anne Boggis, Project Director for the Harriet Wilson Project, shared in the efforts to bring Harriet Wilson’s Our Nig (FIC WIL) to the forefront as a piece of black history in New Hampshire. She also described the efforts to construct a memorial to Harriet Wilson in Milford, NH.
The library has a Martin Luther King display in one of our cases that reflects the efforts to raise funds for the Martin Luther King Memorial. The Academy’s NEXO club which promotes cultural awareness, has held a fund raiser for this cause. In addition to this display other Martin Luther King materials are being displayed in the library. An inspiring day for all.
