We all have a long weekend thanks to Martin Luther King Jr.. The university will honor the civil rights leader with a Silent March that starts at Galbreath Chapel at 10 a.m. Monday morning. The event is haunting and powerful, and waking up earlier than you most likely planned in order to march in or witness the event would be well worth your time.
Later in the week, the University will be hosting an MLK Jr. Day of service, which is another way to celebrate the civil rights leader. Other University events can be found here.
