MLK Tribute: Living the Legacy

Announcing the 2025 Portland State University 
MLK: Living the Legacy Tribute!

Join us as we honor Dr. King's legacy and engage in thoughtful reflection. This event is more than a reading—it’s a space to connect, be in community, think critically, and discuss how we, as a community, can continue to advance the ideals Dr. King so passionately championed.

The annual MLK events provide an opportunity to pause, reflect and take stock of the journey to justice, equity and full citizenship; of the call to, and the joys and costs of, leadership and service; and of the power of vision, persistence, courage, community and intentionality in supporting extraordinary impact.
