Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Baptist minister, social rights activist, and leader of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and '60s. He organized a number of peaceful protests as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
MLK Day, celebrated every year on the third Monday in January, calls on us to reflect on Dr. King's fight for racial equity and social justice, and to acknowledge the ongoing struggle for a more just and equitable society. In honor of MLK Day, the Marquette community will be hosting activities for the National Day of Service, on Jan. 20 and a Remembrance Luncheon on Jan. 21.
We also encourage you to learn more about Dr. King's life and legacy here.
