Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Reflective Candle Walk and Educational Movie Experience

1.       On January 20, 2016, the Office of Diversity & Inclusion hosted the first “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Reflective Candle Walk and Educational Movie Experience” from 6:00 – 8:30 PM. During this event, students reflected on the importance of the civil rights movement and the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Students listened to excerpts of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech while walking as a unified body around campus. 

       At the conclusion of the walk, students were invited to view the film “Selma”, which captures the impact of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches led by James Bevel, Hosea Williams, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John Lewis.
