“Martin Luther King, Jr.: Our Voices” premiered on MLK Day
A new film from BASE Southern Oregon premiered with a live chat discussion on Monday, January 17, 2022 at 2:00PM. In the film, the children of BASE’s AfroScoutz program explore issues identified by Dr. King in Why We Can't Wait, including education, economics, civics, and policing. Together, the leaders of today and tomorrow discuss how we can apply Dr. King’s wisdom to current issues here in the Rogue Valley and beyond. See the film on Facebook anytime and RVTV Prime (RVTV Cable TV in Southern Oregon in replays).
