CHADRON – Chadron State College plans to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a series of events throughout the week. All events will be in the Student Center and are free and open to the public.

Monday, due to the forecast of extremely cold temperatures, the commemorative march that usually takes place on Main Street will be replaced by a viewing of King’s I Have a Dream speech in the Ballroom at 10 a.m. Following the speech, President Ron K. Patterson will speak. At 7 p.m. Monday, History Professor Dr. Kurt Kinbacher will present A Short History of Race in America in the Ballroom.

On Tuesday, CSC faculty and students will present a jazz concert in the Scottsbluff Room at 7 p.m.

Wednesday at noon, Dr. Rick Puzzo, Associate Professor, will lead a hand drumming session in the Student Center’s Theatre.

Thursday will feature an Open Mic at 7 p.m. in the Bordeaux Room.
