Honoring the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On Monday, January 20, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Northwestern community will celebrate Dr. King with an expanded special commemoration including events and projects throughout the month.

On Tuesday, January 21, Keynote Speaker Shermann "Dilla" Thomas will be joined in conversation by Natalie Moore, senior lecturer and director of audio journalism programming at the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications, at 5 p.m. on Northwestern’s Evanston campus.
