Truth in a Time of Misinformation

Celebrate and Honor the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Truth in a Time of Misinformation explores how history, facts, and critical thinking are being challenged in today’s cultural and political climate. From the erasure of Black history to attacks on DEI initiatives.

Has education become a critical battleground for democracy? Where do we fit in this conversation? This event invites students and employees to examine how we tell truths and why it matters.

Join us in honoring MLK’s legacy through thinking critically, asking bold questions, and defending the power of truth.
