Maryland Humanities Council : : Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Remembrance and Reconciliation: The Maryland Humanities Council (MHC) has introduced a special initiative, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Remembrance and Reconciliation, which uses the humanities to stimulate open, inclusive conversations about race, one of the most critical — and difficult — issues in our state. Through cross-racial dialogue, MHC is engaging Marylanders in an examination of the legacy of Dr. King, the current state of race relations in their communities, and ways to bridge the racial divide and resolve racial differences.
MHC sponsors a wide range of public education programs which reflect the theme of the special initiative. These include Living History Presentations, Speakers Bureau, Poetry Programs, Oral History Workshops, Maryland History Day, Letters About Literature, One Maryland/One Book, and Chautauqua 2008. These programs will explore various aspects of race relations and the Civil Rights Movement.
