EWU annual Martin Luther King Jr rally in Spokane

On Monday, EWU Eagles met in downtown Spokane to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the annual rally, march, and service fair. This “Day On” brought passionate people together under the shared commitment to ending racial discrimination. It was certainly a meaningful Day On, not a Day Off. EWU is grateful to the organizers of this annual event, one that keeps our region moving forward toward a more just society for all.   

Additionally, for the second year in a row, EWU faculty and students held an MLK Jr. Service Day Conference, an event co-sponsored by EWU's Africana Studies Program, the Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Black Student Union, and a grant from the Washington Campus Coalition for the Public Good. Taking place at Spokane’s Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, a diverse line-up of speakers and various workshops inspired those in attendance to adopt principles of inclusiveness and promote social change in our region. It was a great opportunity for EWU students to apply their educational and personal experiences toward making our community a better place.
