EAST STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Martin Luther King Jr. Day was observed all across the commonwealth on January 20. In Monroe County, one of the highlights is an annual art contest for high school students. The contest was held at the East Stroudsburg University's Fine Arts Building. This year's theme was "dreams are what we hold onto when hope seems bleak but hasn't faded." The artwork shows the theme or any aspect of Dr. King's life and his philosophy. This year's winner was Omari Abrams, a senior in East Stroudsburg North High School.

STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A historic church in Stroudsburg is opening its doors once again. Volunteers have been renovating the Stroudsburg Little Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church for nearly two decades. Photojournalist L Baccera gives us a look inside. "This church was established in 1855. There were two Quakers and a Methodist, who gave land. It started off as a log cabin, which was across the street and eventually, they brought that over onto this side of the street," Vice President of the Stroudsburg Little Bethel Historical Association Clavertis Miller explained. "A lot of the male members fought for the North in the Civil War," Miller continued.
