Guest Speaker: Dr. Clement Price noted historian and director of the Rutgers Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience speaking about the Academic Achievement Gap — what would Dr. King have us do?
Action
Each year we urge residents to make the MLK holiday a day on, not a day off! Here’s what you can do:
+ Bring new or gently used K-12 books which will be sent to hurricane-ravaged Slidell, LA.
+ Donate canned and other non-perishable food for the OLS Food Pantry.
Collection hours: 12 – 4
+ Volunteer to work with community organizations focusing on closing the academic achievement gap. Volunteer fair will run 2-4 pm at Our Lady of Sorrows.
Call the Coalition Office at 973-761-6116 x6 for more information.
