Legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Honored KENNEBUNK The First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church will honor the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, January 16, during its 14th annual MLK Holiday Breakfast. Doors opens at 8:30 a.m. Shortly before he was assassinated, King had started organizing a “Poor People’s Campaign.� The campaign was a multiracial effort—including Americans of African, Asian, European, Latino, and Native American descent. It was aimed
at alleviating poverty regardless of race. All these years later, we find ourselves amid the widest gap ever between the rich and poor. Following up on King’s largely forgotten campaign, our speaker is Josh Hoxie of the Institute for Policy Studies located in Jamaica Plain, Mass., and Washington D.C. The title of his talk is “The growing gap between the wealthy and the rest of us.� “The promise of market economics is supposed to be that as an economy grows, the
paychecks of wage earners grow with it,� Hoxie wrote in “Poorer than their Parents,� an article published in U.S. News and World Report. “But according to a new study, this is no longer the case. Who’s hit hardest by the new unequal reality? Young people.� The Social Justice Committee of First Parish is excited to bring Hoxie to Kennebunk. The breakfast menu, new this year, will include quiche, sausage, veggie slaw, blueberry buckle, fruit, and coffee. The Rev. Lara
Campbell will introduce the program, and the First Parish choir directed by the Rev. Charlie Grindle will sing an African song of peace. The cost of the program is $15 for adults, $5 for children from 6 - 12, and free for children 5 and under. Reservations are recommended: call Martha, 985-1411 or email firstparishkennebunk@gmail.com.
