Dear Spartan Community,

The third annual National Day of Racial Healing is coming soon -  in just one week on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019 – and plans are underway in many communities to gather, learn together and celebrate our common humanity.

To show our connection to many around the country committed to the work of racial healing and empowerment of all people, we will gather together as a Spartan Community. Please come and stand with fellow Spartans as we affirm our support for community, connection, and dialogue at UNCG.

Other events happening next week to celebrate the life and work of Dr. King and our commitment to intercultural engagement include:

MLK Celebration: An Evening with Ilyasah Shabazz

Location: UNCG Auditorium   https://intercultural.uncg.edu/programs/mlk-commemoration

Time: 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Our dialogue programs continue during the Spring including our CommUNITY Dialogue and our 5-week student dialogue program later this spring called Spartans-In-Dialogue.
