In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the campus community prepares to honor the memory of Dr. King with the annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Unity @ Union March.

On Monday at 12:45 p.m., students, faculty and staff will gather outside Schaffer Library, where signs and song lyrics will be distributed before the march begins. The march will be followed by a program inside Nott Memorial, where the campus community will be able to reflect on the significance of MLK Day with remarks by Melinda Lawson, senior lecturer of history. The event will conclude with a performance by the Heavenly Voices Gospel Choir.

The annual event is presented by the offices of Multicultural Affairs, Campus Diversity and Inclusion, the History Department and the Heavenly Voices Gospel Choir. All are welcome and encouraged to participate.
