The Champlain College Office of Diversity and Inclusion and Champlain Theatre presented a dramatic reading of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" to a packed auditorium on Jan. 25.
From the program:

On April 12, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested with Ralph Abernathy by Police Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor for demonstrating without a permit.
While he was in prison, eight Alabama clergymen published a statement called "A Call for Unity." In it, the clergymen agreed that social injustices existed, but argued that the battle against racial segregation should be fought soley in the courts and not in the streets.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s response - known as "The Letter from the Birmingham Jail," was written on scraps of paper and in the margins of a newspaper.
Extensive excerpts from the letter were published without King's consent, on May 19, 1963 in the New York Post.

Ame Lambert, senior director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion offered a personal reflection on race and racism. The evening was directed by Joanne Farrell, with the cast:
Edgar Davis as Martin Luther King, Jr.
Kenneth Wade and Frank Robinson as clergymen
Readers and Community members: Emily Ginter, Kyle Dodson, Dylan Suprlock, Joanne Farrell, Megan Lambros, Megan Munsonwarnken and Ame Lambert.
Videos were edited and created by Nick Galante and Jonathan Mendel.
