MLK Day Celebration Planned In Northampton

One of the longest-running events in the region that honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr takes place in Northampton, Massachusetts on the national holiday for the civil rights leader.

Hosted by the Resistance Center for Peace and Justice the celebration features a large assembly and a series of workshops put on by several community groups.

To preview this year’s event, WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with the center’s Jeff Napolitano.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
