Remarks
Read about the MLK Jr. Holiday and what it means to members of the campus community. We encourage you to share your thoughts about Martin Luther King Jr. and the holiday.
From the Campus Community
"The purpose of the "No Hate in 08" Martin Luther King event is to inspire and ultimately challenge the faculty, staff and students of the University of Missouri as well as residents of Columbia, Missouri to do some forward thinking and further push toward the vision of Dr. King"
"Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream is as important and relevant today as it was 45 years ago when he delivered his most famous address on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. His vision for our country has yet to be fulfilled but it lives on in the hearts and minds of millions of Americans."
"A day on which we commemorate the outstanding contributions to the development of our society of a man who dedicated his life to peace, justice and harmony. Each year we are reminded how important to our future development these concepts are."
