Jan. 16, 2006-- Andover cancelled its regular class schedule on Martin Luther King Jr. Day so that students could take advantage of an extensive offering of special workshops and community service projects coordinated around the day’s theme of “Economic Justice: Unfinished Business.” The day's activities began with an All-School Meeting that featured music by PA's Gospel Choir and a lively keynote speech by Dr. Roland Fryer, a 28-year-old assistant economics professor at Harvard University who’s considered a rising star in the academic world because of his unique application of economic and scientific tools to issues of racial inequality.
