DSU and MLK Jr. Day – Photo Slideshow

Although classes were not held Jan.19 in honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, the University was still very active in the two community events that celebrated the civil rights leader.

The DSU Concert Choir performed at the annual Alpha Phi Alpha MLK Jr. Prayer Breakfast, where DSU President Harry L. Williams and a group of administrators and faculty were in attendance.

That was followed by the 12 noon annual MLK Jr. Program in the Education and Humanities Theatre at DSU. For images from both events, click on the below link:
