Georgetown University Community Invited to “Teach the Speech” in Honor of MLK Day 2021

Each year, as part of Georgetown University’s MLK: “Let Freedom Ring!” Initiative, the Center for Social Justice encourages members of our community to reflect on one of Dr. King’s famous speeches via Teach the Speech. Over the years, faculty, staff, and students across campus have participated in Teach the Speech events focusing on a wide range of speeches by Dr. King.

In 2021, the Georgetown community is invited to focus on Dr. King’s 1965 speech “Our God is Marching On.” In addition, all are invited to join the January 19 Teach the Speech Teach-In, featuring three mini-keynote addresses as well as a dialogue with the speakers.
