Walk will honor memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Multicultural Resource Center and the upsilon chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. will sponsor “Walking the Dream,” a luminary walk honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The walk will begin at 7 tonight in front of Wescoe Hall and proceed to Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Tim Dupree, assistant prosecutor in Emporia, is the scheduled keynote speaker. The walk was scheduled a week after Martin Luther King Jr. Day so more students could be involved, said Santos Nunez, program director of multicultural affairs. For more information contact the MRC at 864-4350.
