Duke University's 20th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., was a leader whose authority came from his faith, courage and moral persuasion. In this important year of political change, forty years after Dr. King was killed, we focus on the intersection of faith and politics that he embodied. And we ask ourselves the critical question,
"What ...comes of his dream?"

"me too monologues"
Sunday, January 18 at 7pm, Brody Theater (East Campus next to Baldwin)
The "me too monologues" is a show produced by the Center for Race Relations that performs true stories written by members of the Duke community and performed by Duke students. The stories address issues of race, culture, and ethnicity, and speak to the raw experiences of our peers. Race is more than diversity numbers or academic theories. To truly understand race, you have to live it. And everyone has lived it. We all have a story. Whether it is being racially profiled at an airport, dealing with interracial dating, or feeling like someone's token white friend, we all have stories. And we're not going to truly get it until we live each other's experiences. Hearing it, breathing it, feeling what your fellow classmates have lived. The "me too monologues" is all about living it.

Duke University's 20th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration This year the Martin Luther King Jr. committee wanted to encapsulate the opinions, perspectives, and emotions from Duke students about their feelings surrounding Dr. King's Dream and how it exists in 2008. This is what we found.
Duke University's 20th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Each year, Duke University students, faculty, and staff come together to celebrate the dream of one of this world's greatest leaders, orators, and citizens: Dr. King.
This year our keynote speaker is Reverend Joseph Lowery, was a key figure and friend to Dr. King as the two men co-founded the Southern Christian Leaders...hip Conference (S.C.L.C.), one of the most critical components to the 1960's Civil Rights movement.
These photos highlight the dream of Dr. King, the work of Reverend Lowery, keynote speakers of the past and the efforts of the MLK Committee here at Duke.
