The 15th annual Martin Luther King Legacy Day continues celebrating Dr. King’s vision of justice, equality, and peace, recognizing students and faculty through leadership and creativity awards. Bree Newsome, is a contemporary civil rights activist who garnered national attention for a daring act of peaceful disobedience in June 2015. Following the brutal murder of nine black parishioners at a church in Charleston, S.C., Newsome climbed the flagpole at the South Carolina statehouse and pulled down the Confederate Battle flag as a protest against racist symbolism. As a recognized and celebrated voice on the topics of injustice and racial discrimination, Newsome brings to light the importance of leadership development in building and sustaining social movements.
