Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day & Beyond

With guest speaker:  Sabrina LaMar, President, Monroe County Legislature

  • Monday, February 13, 2023
    12pm to 1pm
    R. Thomas Flynn Warshof Conference Center; Monroe A/B
    Room 352 (streamed) Downtown Campus

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day has become the most recognized day on the calendar that happens every year on the third Monday in January.  King spoke of service, community, empowerment, and nonviolence. In recognition of the national holiday, and in honor of King’s humanitarian contributions, Monroe Community College pauses by closing the college in remembrance of this great civil rights hero.  However, this year we are continuing to honor this activist and minister by incorporating a celebration of his life during Black History Month.

Keeping the spirit of Dr. King, we are asking faculty, staff, and students to help us commemorate MLK Day along with Black History Month by attending a celebration on Monday, February 13, at 12:00p.m. in the R. Thomas Flynn Warshof Conference Center in Monroe A/B.  The program will include gospel singing and poetry readings along with key-note guest speaker Ms. Sabrina LaMar, President, Monroe County Legislature.

For more information about this event, please email Henry Brown or call (585) 292-2269.

Sabrina LaMar is the President the Monroe County Legislature and has served as the Chief Lawmaking Body of the County of Monroe.  A Rochester native, she serves as CEO of PUSH Publishing and assistant director for Rise UP Rochester. She also works as project coordinator for the Community Engagement to Reduce Victimization at Rochester Institute of Technology's Center for Public Safety Initiatives.
