Members of the MSU community march in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the MLK Commemorative March on Jan. 20. The march is part of MSU’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Celebration, a week of events in its 45th year running that celebrate King’s life and work and the civil rights-related historical events that took place in our nation and on our campus. The march was initially set to begin at Beaumont Tower and conclude at the Multicultural Center, but was moved to IM East due to inclement weather. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
