The Harvard Extension School is hosting Roundtable reflections in honor of MLK Day week. Students are invited to an intimate roundtable session to reflect on their dreams, how they view the world, and on the legacy of MLK as it stands today.  

Honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and work by joining with others to serve those in need in our community and to learn how you can help create an equitable community that brings us closer to racial justice and equality.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the inequality and injustice in our society. But we can still lend our helping hands. And we can work together to make this a day—and even a week—of giving and learning. Join together virtually for hands-on service on MLK Day and a Week of Racial and Social Justice Conversations focused on Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.’s work, legacy and continuing power to challenge and inspire us. 

Organized by Many Helping Hands 365 and the Harvard Memorial Church. Events run from January 18th-22nd. For more information and a full schedule of the week's events, please visit Many Helping Hands 365.
