Our annual celebration honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. allows Taft students to experience the power of his message while applying his wisdom and foresight to their understanding of current social and cultural issues. The focus of this year's event was education as the civil rights issue of our time. Both MLK lecturer David Canton, Associate Professor of History at Connecticut College, and Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary considered education as an enduring piece of King's legacy in their addresses to the Taft community. Highlights of the day also included workshops and clinics with local students and our multicultural arts celebration. Enjoy this look back at the day in pictures.
