William & Mary’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration will focus on not only the renowned civil rights leader, but present-day movements happening in the local area and across the country.
“Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: The Power of Protest, Marches and College Students,” sponsored by William & Mary’s Center for Student Diversity, will take place virtually through Zoom at 7 p.m. on Feb. 3.
The event will feature a panel of student, faculty and alumni speakers moderated by CSD Associate Director Shené V. Owens and Alton Coston III 23.
