C+V Community Talk in Partnership with Heritage Months: Securing Justice: Q&A & 马丁·路德·金之后的行动呼吁. 一天

马丁·路德·金. 一天 is celebrated as a day of service 和 a reflection on the injustices to the Black community. These injustices are still happening today, which is not the future that Dr. King envisioned when he gave his “I have a Dream” speech in 1963.

Our panel will reflect on Representative Leslie Herod’s speech from January 17th 和 have a Q & A to analyze what we can do as individuals 和 a community to inspire change. Join us to reflect 和 discuss a call to action at DU 和 beyond 和 to honor the legacy of 马丁·路德·金.
