"OU community honors Martin Luther King Jr."

"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led an assemblage of more than 200,000 marchers to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 1963 to deliver his 'I Have a Dream' speech. Hundreds of Oakland University students, faculty and staff paid homage to King and took part in several activities, including a march, on Jan. 19 to mark the national celebration of his birthday and the beginning of OU's African-American Celebration 2004. Classes were suspended to allow students to participate in the day's activities."
