The University of Maine Alumni Association, in collaboration with the Bangor Area Branch of the NAACP, will celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 18, with a live-streamed panel discussion at 5 pm that will address the topic: “Being Black in Maine: Lived Experience and the Prospect for Change.” The public is invited to register at our.umaine.edu/mlk2021. WERU is a media supporter of this virtual event.
Wow! The new year is sure off to some kind of start! We are following events at the national level with interest and concern, and we’re talking about what it all could mean for democracy – League of Women Voters – Downeast.
We’ll talk about the political divide in the aftermath of the 2020 general election. Do we share any common ground? What happened at “America in One Room?” What lessons can we learn about American democracy and its future? How can we shape our democratic institutions to foster more deliberation? What lessons can we learn about engaging in deliberation everyday?
WERU wishes everyone a safe, healthy and happy 2021, especially in light of the tumult we are currently experiencing (and have for quite some time). With a new year underway let’s hope that conditions improve! We thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to serving you in the coming year with excellent community radio. And as always, thank you for listening! Together we make WERU happen!
