MLK Celebration
January 20-24, 2025
Every year, the University of Richmond pauses to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The theme of this year’s celebration was inspired by MLK’s persistence that we all have something to give. We hope that during this year’s events you might reflect on current and historical movements for social justice, connect with others, and commit to action beyond the celebration itself.
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ’What are you doing for others?’
Martin Luther King Jr., 1963
