Keep on Pushing: Building Bridges to Sustainability
Each year, the MLK Program celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy. It brings together community members from across the Washington State University system and celebrates the ways we carry on Dr. King’s spirit through our work.
The theme for this year’s events is “Keep on Pushing: Building Bridges to Sustainability.” Developed with invaluable input from students at the Black Student Union (BSU), this theme embodies our collective commitment to sustainability—not only in environmental terms but as a comprehensive social objective that ensures we meet the needs of the present while empowering future generations to meet theirs. Central to this theme is the concept of building bridges, which will serve as a unifying thread throughout the week and beyond. By fostering connections across diverse groups and encouraging open dialogue, we aim to inspire positive action within our community, recognizing that working together is essential for meaningful progress. This inclusive, forward-looking perspective serves as the foundation for all programming during the week and throughout the spring semester, reinforcing our dedication to unity, understanding, and collective action for a sustainable future.
