The Graduate School's Office for Diversity & Equal Opportunity will honor the work of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. with a brown-bag luncheon series titled "One Day at a Time: Ordinary Peoples' Struggles."
The series will kick off on the anniversary of King's birthday -- Wednesday, Jan. 15 -- and continue for four weeks. The talks will be held Wednesdays noon-1p.m. in Rm. 211 of the Hall of Graduate Studies, 320 York St. The series is open to members of the Yale community.
The series will feature speakers from the Yale and New Haven communities who will talk about the daily civil rights struggles of average Americans from all walks of life. Individual speakers and topics will be announced.
The organizers hope the series will provide a forum for interactive discussion and debate about the civil rights struggles from the 1960s to the present.
The series is co-sponsored by the School of Medicine's Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health's Minority Affairs Committee.
For further information, contact the Office for Diversity & Equal Opportunity at grad.diversity@yale.edu or (203) 432-0763.
