Students, faculty and community members joined together in the Reilly Room to make posters and reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.. Participants listened to a speech by Paul Ford II, the lead organizer for Bust the B.U.B.B.L.E., and then marched across campus boasting colorful posters in support of racial justice.
