Diversity events on UNC campus

Posted on January 7, 2010 by Staff

Actor and producer Danny Glover will give the 29th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lecture on Jan. 21 at UNC. The free public talk will be at 7:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall, preceded by a candlelight vigil starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Old Well on Cameron Avenue. The vigil is intended as a time for reflection on King’s messages.

The events are part of the 29th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration, Jan. 17-22, which also will include a film and oratorical contest, a march down Franklin Street and a talk by Cleve Jones, creator of the AIDS quilt. Multiple organizations across campus are sponsoring the events, coordinated by the Chancellor’s Committee for the Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration.

Tickets for the Glover lecture are free but required. Carolina students with UNC One cards may pick up tickets at the Memorial Hall Box Office on Cameron Avenue starting Jan. 12. Others may begin picking up tickets Jan. 14.
