My grad school has a King Day Celebration that I attend every year. This year will be my first year as an alum! Last year we had Tim Wise, a social justice advocate talk about power and privilege and white anti-racism and then we had a dialogue between people of color and white students facilitated by the Society of Black Student Social Workers.
This year we are having an Asian man who is committed towards social justice, especially racism and healing. I have more information on it, but they haven't posted it to our website.
Dr. King's picture hangs above my desk and every day I celebrate his life through my profession by working towards social justice and dedicating my life to empowering others and eliminating hate in the world. It may be my humble attempt, but at least I am one voice that might make a difference!
