We celebrate

Additionally, Skidmore’s Office of Religious and Spiritual Life encourages community members to join the conversation via social media, posing the question: “Where is Martin Luther King, Jr.'s method and message most needed today?” Respond on Skidmore’s Facebook page, or via Twitter using #Skidmore #MLKDay.
