On January 12, 2024, Indiana University faculty, staff, students, and community members observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day, attending a special event entitled “An Afternoon Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”
The program included student performances, IU’s Building Bridges Award presentations, and a keynote address by Shaun Harper, one of the nation’s leading racial justice and equity experts.
The Building Bridges Award recognizes individuals and organizations who capture Dr. King’s vision, spirit, and leadership in ways both big and small – right here at IU and within communities across Indiana. One student and one additional community member (faculty, staff, local organization, etc.) from each campus and IU’s School of Medicine were recognized.
