This is a past event.
For 36 years, Michigan Tech has honored and celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a man who refused to sit idly by while he and others were treated less than, who brought people together to fight for justice and equality. Dr. King is most recognized for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience and as a national icon in the history of American progressivism.
The Center for Diversity and Inclusion is proud to announce the 36th Annual MLK Jr Day Celebration on January 20, 2025. Several events are planned leading up to the day and beyond.
MUB Ballroom, 10 a.m.
Join us for free food, live music from the Workshop Brass Band, and our Keynote address by Schwartzen Precil.
This event is open to all, students and community members alike.
Please register, so that we can provide food for all attendees.
Van Pelt and Opie Library, Noon
The Van Pelt and Opie Library will host a Prayer Vigil where religious communities on campus will read excerpts from Dr. King's works.
We welcome volunteers at this event to share the messages of MLK and how they relate to their own beliefs. Please register to be a speaker.
