Part of Haverford College’s Annual Martin Luther King Week
Join us for a week dedicated to honoring Dr. King’s legacy and promoting dialogue about civil rights. This year’s theme is MLK In the Age of Obama. What is Dr. King’s relevance today? Are we truly in a post-racial society? How do issues of race, diversity, multiculturalism, and civil rights play out in our nation with our new President Obama? What about on Haverford’s campus?
