TO THE EDITOR:

In honor of the birth of Martin Luther King Jr., we should not just commemorate the life of King and celebrate his impact on our country, but we should also keep his passion and dream alive by expanding his legacy of social change into our 21st century.

The Campus Y and MLK Week encourage everyone to come listen to Cleve Jones, founder of the AIDS Quilt, character in the movie “Milk” and LGBTQ rights activist, as he addresses how King’s dream of equality and civil rights applies to the LGBTQ community today. This event, “From MLK to MILK,” is open to everyone, and it will begin tonight at 7 p.m. in the Great Hall in the Student Union. No tickets are necessary.

Come tonight to be a part of the movement working to create the “oasis of freedom and justice” of which Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed.
