More than 300 members of the Boston College community attended an ecumenical gathering in the Heights Room on the evening of January 21 to celebrate the “calling and legacy” of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Hosted by Campus Ministry, the program included choral music by the United Voices of Freedom—a choir comprising Against the Current, the Liturgy Arts Group, and Voices of Imani—as well as a presentation by Phaymus, a campus dance ensemble. Former U.S. ambassador to Tanzania Charles Stith, who is director of Boston University’s African Presidential Archives and Research Center, delivered a homily. Two student speakers, Jeremy Marks ’09 and Jacqueline Grant ’08, the current Martin Luther King Scholar, offered reflections. Above (l-r), Benjamin Lee ’08, Ambassador Stith, and Gabriel Shirley ’12 take part in the celebration.
