The CommUNITY Education Programs presents this year’s 2023 Martin Luther King Jr Civil Rights Immersion Series. This year’s theme is “The Promise(d) Land: Creating a more just, fairer, and equitable community." This spring’s events will focus on dreaming and reimagining a better community, Bloomington, and IU Community. We hope you will be able to join us for our events.
A Public Reimagining: January 16
Join us as we begin to dream with a public reimagining on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. CUEs will be stationed at white boards across campus (TBD) with markers giving you a chance to write down what is in your promised land. This will also be an opportunity to learn more about civil right leaders’ vision.
