MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY - January 17, 2022

The third Monday in January is set aside to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., perhaps the most important figure in the history of Civil Rights in the United States. Strongly influenced by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. King advocated the use of nonviolent means to end racial segregation. Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964 and died four years later at the hands of an assassin on April 4, 1968.

Welcome to Spring Semester 2022!!

Old Farmer's Almanac

In continuous publication since 1792, The Old Farmer’s Almanac
has spoken to all walks of life: planting charts for those who grow
their own food; recipes for those who live in the kitchen; 
Moon and sunrise times for those who watch the skies;
and forecasts for those who don’t like the
question of weather left up in the air.
