Virtual MLK Jr. Day Presentation
March 1, 2021
Lawrence Academy was pleased to present our 2021 J. William Mees Visiting Scholar, Matthew R. Kay, who engaged our community about “Meaningful Race Conversations: Tools and Strategies. ” Kay, an educator, is the author of Not Light, But Fire, which the LA faculty read over the summer. Earlier in the year, he spoke to faculty members regarding meaningful in-class conversations fostered by teachers, and he echoed that lesson to the student body during a special assembly. His public presentation took place on Zoom on March 1 and boasted one of the highest rates of attendance in the program ’ s history.
