On Jan. 15, Cooley Law School hosted a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, featuring an online panel discussion, “Mission Possible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy.”
The event brought together Cooley students and faculty to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy and engage in meaningful dialogue about his vision for justice and equality.
The program included a viewing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech from the 1963 March on Washington, offering attendees the chance to experience his words’ full power and relevance in today’s context.
“What’s needed now more than ever is context – many Americans in their 20s and 30s have never listened to the entire ‘I Have a Dream Speech,’” said Cooley Law School Professor Joseline Hardrick, who moderated the panel discussion. “Thus, when they hear it quoted out of context, they don’t understand the true meaning of Dr. King’s words. I encourage everyone to listen to the entire speech.”
In addition to Hardrick, panelists who shared in the conversation about what MLK’s legacy means to us today, included: Professor Brendan Beery, Associate Dean and Professor Tracey Brame, Professor Mable Martin-Scott, and Jacqueline Freeman, senior director and special advisor for diversity, equity and inclusion.
