The Hardwick Equity Committee and Jeudevine Memorial Library invite you to commemorate MLK Day as a community with this gathering at the library on SUNDAY, January 19.

1:00-3:00 pm - we'll show Selma, Ava DuVernay's Academy Award-nominated film about the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march. We'll have light refreshments.

3:00-4:00 pm - informal discussion. You're welcome to view the film on your own (Netflix, Hulu, Prime, other streaming services) and just come for the discussion (even if you don't manage to watch the film). 

In addition to recognizing the contributions of Dr. King and the larger civil rights movement, MLK Day is regarded as a NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE, inspired by King's view that everyone can serve and make a difference in their community. Coordinating with local groups, there will be VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES to sign up for at days and times that work for you.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day Act was signed into law in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan, establishing MLK Day as a federal holiday in the United States.

The last Monday of every month from October to April, the Jeudevine invites you to CRAFTea! Bring whatever handwork you do to the Hardwick Community Center at 56 High Street from 5:30 to 7 PM. 

Any crafts are welcome and encouraged: knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross-stitch, rug hooking, spoon carving, basket making, mending, paper quilling, lace making, spinning, weaving, felting, sewing, jewelry making, painting, origami... whatever you do that is portable and good in a group situation! 

We will meet at the community center, an accessible location, until the library addition is open. 

Tea and conversation provided.
