Six decades ago, in August of 1963, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) delivered what would become an iconic speech before a crowd of 250,000 gathered for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the largest gathering for civil rights of its time. “I have a dream,” King declared—a total of nine times in his 17-minute speech—calling not only for civil and economic rights for all but also an end to racism in America. In anticipation of MLK Day 2024, which marks the 95th anniversary of the civil rights leader’s birth, members of the William James College community gathered on Wednesday, January 10 for lunch, fellowship, and an address from Antoine Salvador, PsyD, Assistant Professor, Counseling and Behavioral Health Department and graduate of both the Clinical Psychology Doctorate Program and the Black Mental Health Graduate Academy at William James College.
