‘Flights to Freedom’: MLK Event in Midd

Gather with college and town community members for a special event honoring the life and message of Martin Luther King Jr. Be inspired by the readings from two MLK speeches performed by Oratory Now students, raise your voice in song with a pop-up choir, and witness our community-wide Paper Cranes Project take flight! Hot beverages provided. All are welcome.

Notice of location change by 9 am 1/20 at http://go.middlebury.edu/cce.

All are invited to join in a communal effort across Middlebury College and Town to fold 1,000 paper cranes. Contact carolinneg@middlebury.edu to request a paper crane kit to contribute by January 20th. Kits and instructions can also be found at the Ilsley and Davis Libraries.

More on the “Flights to Freedom” Paper Crane Project: The ancient Japanese tradition of folding 1,000 paper cranes, called senbazuru, is undertaken as a prayer for healing, happiness, and good luck. The folding of cranes has become an act that symbolizes the hope for world peace.
