Details

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Evening of Reflection is a space where students, faculty and staff can come together to honor Dr. King, Jr. and reflect on his legacy.

The 2022 theme, "Dangerous Unselfishness" reflects on Dr. King's last speech, "Mountaintop". Our hope is to center coalition building while reflecting on the work that still needs to be done in our nation to reach Dr. King's idea of the "promised land." Our goal is to help a new generation understand the work of social justice, to address moving beyond performative allyship to being a co-conspirator and looking beyond self-preservation for the preservation of others through breaking the silence and addressing systematic racism.
