Remembering Dr. King, Jr. Take Part in the Annual U of U Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Every year the University of Utah celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Highlights of the weeklong celebration include a keynote address by an internationally known social justice advocate and a candlelight march and rally. The 25th annual celebration keynote was given by Rigoberta Menchu Tum, the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Menchu Tum spoke out against prejudice and gave a message of peace and cooperation. Past keynote speakers include Dr. Cornel West, Angela Davis, and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson. Last year’s celebration also marked the first candlelight march and rally. Westminster College and community members participated.
