The theme for Bates' 2020 observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day is “From the Ground Up: Inequity, Bias, Privilege, Structure, Death.” Activities include three sessions of concurrent workshops: This second session includes workshops on the role of slave-picked cotton in Bates' history, navigating identity in the workplace, and an environmental justice "mapathon," as well as two short plays about Black Colonial Americans' anti-slavery efforts.
