Wesleyan College Reachs Out to Their Community on MLK Day
Following the bread baking, volunteers were to participate in a planned round table discussion with US Congressman Dave Loebsack for the IWC community and residents of Mount Pleasant to discuss why service is a vital part of a community; however, this part of the event had to be rescheduled for the spring due to the weather. Wesleyan College's Day of Service project was concluded with the viewing of the film, Citizen King, which reflected on the last five years of Dr. King's life. After the film, a facilitated reflection about the legacy of Dr. King and service was held.
