Description:
Virginia Tech presents the 2021 Martin Luther King Jr Celebration with Keynote Speaker Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X, on Monday, January 18, 2021 online on YouTube.

Virginia Tech will honor and remember the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a live keynote address by Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X. This year's theme is "We Cannot Walk Alone".

As the theme states, "We Cannot Stand Alone." The community must be a united front and stand tall to condemn social injustices and seek common, peaceful ground, not hostility or conflict. Virginia Tech recognizes that the legacy of King embodied influential decisions, monumental actions, and unfaltering progressions of humanitarian rights.

King maintained a vision for a more diverse nation where all people experienced the benefits of equality. He understood the importance of unifying the masses in the push for one common goal. His legacy provides an ideal model for how we fight inequality today.
