MLK Week of Service

MLK

                            - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King knew what makes a great American: 

Doesn't matter if you're young or old. 
Doesn't matter where you live. 
Doesn't matter how busy you are.
All that matters is what you do for others.

Listen to the critical perspectives of several guests as they present their views and ideas and engage in dialogue surrounding the costs of failing to realize the dreams that Dr. King articulated fifty years ago. Reverend Al Sharpton will be joined by Michaela Angela Davis, Dr. Shankar Prasad and others. We will also be presenting the NYU MLK Jr. Humanitarian Award to Young Alumna Trustee, Natalie Holder-Winfield, Steinhardt ‘97.

Join us for a stimulating evening of reflection and conversation as we challenge ourselves to move forward from dreaming to action.
