Andres Henera, Director of Educational Equity and
Diversity Programs at Penn State Behrend, is the
chair of the 2( X )9 Martin Luther King

week's actk ities. "We felt that the significance of
Ohama being elected Presidmt is very meaningful to
Martin Luther King Day this year. - he said. "We
chose 'Yes \‘e can fulfill the ctream . as our theme
because Obama's presidency is a‘, er big part of Dr.
King's dream."
