Every year, the University of Richmond commemorates the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The theme of this year’s commemoration is a question that we pose to the whole campus:
What would MLK want from us today?
Please take a moment to post your thoughts and reflections on how to answer that question as individuals, as a University, and beyond. And we encourage you to respond to one another as the number of posts grows.
The context of this year’s commemoration is remarkable. Forty years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the day before the United States inaugurates Barack Obama as the nation’s first African American president, Fourth Circuit Court Judge Roger L. Gregory will discuss the impact of King’s legacy in Cannon Memorial Chapel at the University of Richmond, Jan. 19 at 2 p.m. And a number of other exciting events are slated for the previous week and after.
We look forward to your thoughts and to your participation in the various events.
