The event, put on by the Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition, is one of the largest in the state to honor King. The Martin Luther King Jr. Award went to Dr. Dottie Morris, vice president for diversity at Keene State College.
“We must not build walls around ourselves,” she said. “When we keep walls around ourselves, it closes us to so many blessings.”
The National Cultural Diversity Awareness Council had an event planned later Monday to honor the Greek heritage of the country.
