MIT's 48th Annual celebration of the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. will be held virtually on February 10th at 11am. Join the MIT community in fellowship, remembrance, and song! 

Hosted by: President Rafael Reif.

Featured Keynote Speaker

Dr. Eddie S. Glaude, Jr is a passionate educator, author, political commentator, and public intellectual who examines the complex dynamics of the American experience. His most recent book, the New York Times bestseller Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for our Own, takes an exhaustive look at Black communities, the difficulties of race in the United States and the challenges we face as a democracy. Combining a scholar's knowledge of history, a political commentator's take on the latest events, and an activist's passion for social justice, Glaude challenges all of us to examine our collective American conscience.
