Events honor King's legacy UM will celebrate the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. with a series of events Jan. 29-Feb.
All activities are free and open to the public.
A clergyman, civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner, King was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968. So it's important to understand our past, and to continue to look for solutions for the future. Events kick off with Angela Davis presenting the President's Lecture at 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 29, in the University Theatre. Introduced by UM history Professor Michael Mayer, the film gives an interesting look at '60s attitudes on race that still have relevance today. The Rev. Denise Rogers of Bozeman, executive director of the Montana Hate-Free Zone, will present a revival and call to students at noon Friday, Feb. 2, in the University Center south atrium.
