He understood that words have power as time-and-time again, he so eloquently used his voice to shed light on injustices. This year, Georgetown University honors Dr. King's legacy of captivating hearts, and ears through an evening of spoken word, poetry and music highlighting his speech "I've Been to the Mountaintop." We hope that, through this evening of reflection and artistic expression, we can stir imaginations for change and hope for the future. We will also have activities to support low-income youth, and families. Food will be provided. MLK Evening of Hope and Resistance will take place on Saturday, January 13, 2018 from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM in the Healey Family Student Center Social Room. Please register to perform at csj.georgetown.edu/mlk. Questions can be submitted to Center for Social Justice's Whitney Maddox at guserviceday@georgetown.edu.
