2024 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration: Single Garment of Destiny
Joyce Cummings Center Lobby
Join the 2024 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Celebration for dinner, conversation and connection! The 2024 theme Single Garment of Destiny comes from the 1963 “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” The event will welcome Boston-native Christian Walkes, a Ph.D. Student at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education researching race and inequality in American schools through interdisciplinary historical inquiry, to offer insights from King’s Letter and frame the conversation for the evening. Student artists and musicians as well as the winners of the MLK Student Voices Award will be featured. Doors open at 5:15 pm for dinner.
The celebration will be livestreamed, and ASL interpretation will be available on-site. It is hosted by the Africana Center, the Office of the President, the Office of the Vice Provost for Institutional Inclusive Excellence, Tisch College of Civic Life, and the University Chaplaincy.
NOTE: This event will now be held in the lobby of the Joyce Cummings Center.
