New Orleans students come together for MLK Week for Peace

Loyola, Tulane, Xavier and University New Orleans students will get together to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy for the 30th year during the MLK Week for Peace.

On Wednesday, Jan. 20, a convocation was held at Tulane’s McAlister Auditorium to start off the week and Kwame Rose, a Baltimore activist, was the featured speaker.

Expressions of Unity and Step off for the Dream happens Friday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in Xavier University’s university center ballroom. Step teams from each school will get together to perform and remember King through song, music and dance.

The day of service will begin at 8 a.m. in Loyola’s residential quad. Students will then leave to go into the community and serve others.
