Unity Celebration

Date: Thursday, January 19, 2023

The MLK Unity Celebration is a time-honored tradition joining together Louisiana State University, Southern University and A&M College, and Baton Rouge Community College for a celebration and commitment to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  During the Unity Reception we proudly recognize the contributions of our leaders with a keynote address, encourage our student leaders to reflect on their role in resolving critical community issues, and to take initiative in enhancing unity among diverse groups within our community.
