A2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS January 31, 2014 WCU honors Martin Luther King, Jr. S teachings Sandra Nikula Staff Writer This year, Western Carolina University celebrated the impression Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made through its an- nual MLK, Jr. Commemo- ration. Takeshia Brown, associate director of pro- grams in the department of Intercultural Affairs, planned and coordinated _ the events for this years . commemoration. Ac- ~*~ cording to Brown, the MLK, Jr. Commemora- tion is held every year in January around Martin Luther King, Jr.s birth- day with the purpose of honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his works. Essentially, it is an an- nual program that is put ~ on at Western Carolina to celebrate the life, legacy, and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, the dream of being an inclusive society where people are judged by the content of their character, and re- ally that goes beyond the surface of making a deep connection with people, - said Brown. Brown stated that the Department of Intercul- tural Affairs puts on programs every year to unite WCUs campus and to continue the mission of the dream. Brown said that one of the main purposes for the commemoration is to get students to take action. T think that was the - main point of Dr. Kings dream, Brown said. She explained that they want to get students to realize what they are pas- . Sionate about, what their dreams are and to get them to take the steps to make their dreams come true. any also aim to are solution to these on - flicts, as well as getting ~ students to do something as simple as committing random acts of kind- ness. This commemo- ration is aimed toward influencing the students at WCU to strive to make the world a better place. As stated on the 2014 pee Jr. Commemoration page on WCUs website, the theme for the 2014 MLK Jr. Commemoration was Beloved Commu- nity: Peace and Unity. Brown illuminated that the inspiration for this years theme comes from how Dr. King addressed global conflicts before his assassination. She further expanded that Dr. Kings focus on global aspects relates to the Department of Intercul- tural Affairs as well and how they do not center their focus on one area of diversity but focus on all areas of diversity. According to the 2014 MLK Jr. Commemoration Schedule of Events, some of the events for the com- memoration consisted of the annual MLK Jr. Prayer Breakfast Day of Service and the Day of Service Part 2, the MLK > Jr. Unity March followed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Recep- tion, a reenactment of Martin Luther King Jr.s T Have a Dream speech, the MLK Jr. Open Mic Night, the MLK Jr. Film: King: From Montgom- ery to Memphis Part 1 and the MLK Jr: Film: King: From Montgom- ery to Memphis Part 2.. Another event that took place that was of great significance was the WCU MLK Jr. Keynote Speaker. The speaker for this years commemora- tion was Dr. Melissa V. Harris-Perry. According to the WCUs MLK Jr. Keynote Speaker page, Harris-Perry is the host of MSNBCs Melissa Harris-Perry as wellas founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Proj- ect on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South at Tulane University where she is also professor of _ political science and who is author of the book ga...

Luther King; he had a make his dream a Teal: Photo by Chris Ward/STAFF Alpha Pi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. members Marquis Miller, Taylor Hancock and Earl Rahming hold their MLK Jr. banner. The MLK Jr. Unity March, which was spon- sored by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., was a spectacular event that gave the WCU commu- nity to unite and voice out Dr. Kings message. It started behind the A.K. Hinds University Cen- ter where the marchers met and then marched around campus behind a banner that read West- ern Carolina Universitys Martin Luther King Jr. Unity March held by sophomore Marquis Miller, junior Taylor Hancock, and senior Earl Rahming, who were members of Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. As they marched, the participants marched to phrases such as Martin dream yand: this is Ww: ity, and What do we want? Equality! When do we want it? Now! One of the marchers was WCUs Chancellor David O. Belcher. When asked why he was there at the march, he replied, Tm here because I believe in the fundamen- tal principles behind Dr. Martin Luther King that we need to live in an inclusive society that gives everyone a chance to pursue the American Dream. Belcher also informed that he and his wife have walked every year since they have been at WCU and that they enjoy the camaraderie of the group. Sophomore Michaella _ Neal, who represented Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., was also asked why she was there. She responded Just to march for equality, march for the purpose of Martin Luther King. He always had a good mes- Sage and its good that we express his message here on campus at Western es was asked her thoughts on the event.
