Celebrate the dream

Each year, Case Western Reserve University honors Martin Luther King Jr.—the holiday, the man and the legacy—with a weeklong celebration that includes workshops, films, panel discussions and speakers.

Best-selling author, scholar and cultural commentator Michael Eric Dyson headlines this year's MLK convocation, which concludes a week of events taking place Jan. 16 to 20, 2012.

All members of the university and Northeast Ohio community are invited to observe King's holiday and recognize his commitment to social justice and global peace.
