Ursinus College is pleased to announce the celebration of the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on January 21-25, 2008. There will be several activities for the college and town community, including an Ecumenical Service, a discussion panel, a Candlelight Vigil, and a Performance Event. Our theme for this year is "Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Spirit in Action."

The King celebration organizing committee invites all faculty and students to participate in the celebration with their classes. Since it is the first day of school, we hope that you will take the time to attend either the Ecumenical Service or several sessions during the Freedom School. The Freedom School consists of (sixteen) one hour-long sessions examining the impact of King, the Civil Rights Movement, and the African American struggle for freedom on American democracy and human rights around the world. All sessions are presented by members of the Ursinus Community. Please show your support. Hope to see you there!
 

Questions about this event should be forwarded to Dr. Walter Greason, the KING Planning Committee Chairman via email at wgreason@ursinus.edu.
