Barrington Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee organizes event

Posted

“Soul Force: A Celebration of Civil Rights” drew a lively crowd to the Bay Spring Community Center on Saturday afternoon.

The event, which was organized by the Barrington Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, served as the town’s first-ever Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration.

Soul Force included storytellers, food trucks, musicians, and more. It was a free event — there was no charge for admission, for the food trucks, T-shirts, or for the entertainment.
