We invite the campus community to join us for the 2022 MLK Campus Commemoration events, a week-long celebration jointly presented by the African American Cultural Center, the Black Male Initiative, Multicultural Student Affairs, NC State Libraries and University Housing.

Join us from Jan. 17–21, 2022 for a commemorative week of programs and events hosted by campus partners.

During this year’s celebration, we center structural change by sharing the told and untold stories of revolutionary growth, grassroots organizing in our own backyards and across the world, and decolonizing pedagogy and recentering indigenous and culturally relevant ways of knowing.
