“Status of the Dream: Does Freedom Ring?” An MLK Day Public Square Panel

On August 28 in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his defining “I Have a Dream” speech, speaking of his dream that America would rise up to live out the true meaning of its creed “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal”. What progress have we, as a nation, made in achieving this dream?

Join the WSU Center for Civic Engagement online to discuss the status of the dream with the perspectives of a diverse panel, and to explore the answer to the question, “Does Freedom Ring?” This event will take place on Thursday, January 19 in Butch’s Den (CUB L60) from 3 – 4 p.m.

Pullman students should register for this event on CougSync. Global Campus students can join the discussion on CCE’s YouTube channel. Public Square discussions are free and open to the public. To learn more about the Public Square initiative, visit https://cce.wsu.edu/publicsquare.
