窪做惇蹋厙 will honor Alvin Brooks, longtime Kansas City leader in social justice and civil rights, with the establishment of the Alvin Brooks Center for Faith-Justice on campus. The center will house many of the universitys faith-justice related efforts, including a chapel, mission and ministry programs, and diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Work has begun to raise funds for the center and to identify a location and construction and design partners.
This week, 窪做惇蹋厙 will celebrate the life and legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in a whole new way.
Normally, the University schedules its MLK Day celebration in January to honor Kings birthday. However, COVID-19 means things look a little different this year as a result of the later start to the spring semester.
Instead of honoring Kings birth, the weeks activities will instead be in recognition of one of Kings most famous pieces of writing, Letter from a Birmingham Jail, written on April 16, 1963.
