A series of events sponsored by the Intercultural Center and the Black Student Union were held to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Starting on Jan. 9 and culminating in a lecture by King's colleague, Samuel McKinney on Thursday, Jan. 26, the events are designed to give the student body an opportunity to learn more about Dr. King's work and the Civil Rights Movement as a whole.
As students poured into the dining hall on Friday Feb. 20, they were not simply filling their plates with ethnic cuisine, but also engaging in a celebration of African-American history. The Soul Food event was organized by the Black Student Union, which traditionally works with the dining hall during Black History month to bring cultural issues to the forefront of students' minds by bringing it first to their plates.
