Saint Michael’s College will welcome University of Vermont History Professor Pamela N. Walker, Ph.D., as part of its annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Convocation. Walker will discuss the story of a hidden-in-plain-sight women’s social movement during the 1960s through the Mississippi Box Project. The project unfolded through the U.S. postal service, allowing Black women in Mississippi and white women in New England to forge unique friendships and participate in the Civil Rights Movement.

Walker’s talk will be held in the Roy Room on the 3rd floor of the Dion Family Student Center.
