Emory & Henry College Announces Martin Luther King, Jr. Convocation and DEI Week of Awareness Week of Celebration Plans

Posted January 07, 2022 by Billy Chandler

Emory & Henry College invites the community to participate in its Martin Luther King, Jr. Convocation on Monday, January 17, 2022 and other DEI Week events.

Keynote speakers include Lydia X. Z. Brown, a disability justice advocate, organizer, educator, attorney, strategist, and writer; Jibreel Khazan (Ezell Blair, Jr.) the last surviving member of the Greensboro Four and graduate of Howard University Law School in Washington, DC and Massachusetts University in Dartmouth; and Jenna Lyn, M.D., MHA Ballad Health.

The day is dedicated to honor the values and impact of a great visionary, Martin Luther King, Jr., while envisioning a bold future filled with inclusion and acceptance. The ongoing week-long celebration of DEI awareness - Civil Rights: Oppression to Progression from Shadows into the Light - will take place with numerous events taking place on the Emory & Henry campus.

“We are honored to bring forth such a great line-up of talent this year to celebrate the paths that have been forged and dreams that have been achieved, but know there is much work to do now and for future generations,” noted Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion John Holloway. “From our keynote speakers to our faculty and staff panel of color, we are excited to challenge minds, empathize, learn and grow in our awareness.”
