Students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and families are invited to participate in a USD tradition and march in the 36th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade on Sunday, January 17 at 2 p.m. This event commemorates Dr. King's 87th birthday and his leadership of the nation's civil rights movement. As we reflect on the life of Dr. King and his enduring calls for justice, service, and peace, we come together as a University community and stand together in solidarity with other San Diego organizations in one of the nation's largest celebrations of Dr. King’s legacy.
