Plans for MLK Week

by Published: Dec 2, 2009

Plans are already under­way for this year’s Martin Luther King, Jr. week celebration

The annual Martin Luther King, Jr. week cel­e­bra­tion will take place from Jan. 17–21 this year.

Events and com­pe­ti­tions such as the MLK Poster Board Competition, the MLK Student Tribute and the MLK Legacy Award are already avail­able for stu­dents to par­take in. The Legacy Award is cur­rently accept­ing nom­i­na­tions. This is the fifth year of the award.

The Jim Crow museum, which is the largest pub­licly acces­si­ble col­lec­tion of racist arti­facts in the coun­try, is ask­ing for contributions.

The theme for this year’s poster board com­pe­ti­tion is “The Jim Crow Era: Then and Now.” Other annual events will be held such as the week long dis­play of the Tunnel of Oppression, the Freedom March and dis­cus­sion forums and fea­tured speakers.
