April 4^th is designated as “MLK Day at FSU, in recognition and celebration of the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”  While the national MLK day is on January 15^th (his birthday), classes are not in session at FSU, so we honor his legacy on April 4^th, the anniversary of the day he was assassinated in 1968. The presentation was very interactive including an activity “Dr. King Had a Dream. What’s Your Dream?” Civil rights speaker and educator, Rasheed Ali Cromwell, Esq. and Joe Davidson, a journalist for The Washington Post and president of the National Association of Black Journalists, co-presented “The MLK You Never Knew: Bias, Media and Image,”, from their professional experiences and perspectives. This program was a collaborative effort between the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Dr. Sheri Whalen, of the Department of Communication.
