it starts with a dream.
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday celebrates the history, purpose and life of the man who brought hope to a nation and empowered that nation to start healing.
Martin Luther King Jr. was one of America's greatest champions of social justice and equality. Each January we honor his life's work so that we can continue his legacy of loving and serving humanity.
Every year the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration begins with the annual Student Luncheon and Seminar, and the Spring Service Fair. The week's events have included art exhibitions, speeches, panel discussions, one-person performances, plays and films, culminating in the Martin Luther King Jr. Convocation, which features the celebration's keynote address.
Programs are organized and presented by Case Western Reserve University schools, departments and student organizations, aiming to remember King's mission and inspire all members of our community to keep his dream alive.
