Challenging the status quo since 1948
“Peace is not merely the absence of tension. It is the presence of justice.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. first spoke on campus April 3, 1957, as part of the Helmsley Lectures, a six-part lecture series addressing race relations. His poignant talks engaged Brandeis community members, who still celebrate his legacy today.
