The Martin Luther King Lecture Series encourages UMKC students, staff, faculty and the Kansas City community to build upon the courageous, nonviolent activism of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., and to increase awareness of present day avenues to advocate for civil rights through free thought, action and scholarship.
The Division of Diversity and Inclusion would like to invite you to the 2024 Martin Luther King, Jr. Lecture. On January 23rd at 6 pm, Kevin Willmott, Academy Award Winner Filmmaker and Professor at KU, will deliver a lecture titled Becoming Martin. He will discuss MLK’s transformation form an unfocused student to a globally celebrated civil rights activist. Please sign up for the event.
Location: UMKC Student Union, Room 401
