SUMMARY:MLK Day of Service
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University will mark the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday\, Jan. 19\, with three activities: a luncheon with keynote speaker Charlita Anderson White\, a 1983 NMU alumna and retired magistrate of the Lorain County Domestic and Juvenile Court in Ohio; an early-access\, curated tour of “Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate”—the first national art exhibition hosted by NMU’s Devos Art Museum; and hands-on service projects. \n  \nThe luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. will feature a menu of fried chicken\, shrimp and grits\, mac and cheese\, collard greens\, potato salad\, cornbread and sweet potato pie. It is free for NMU students and youth attending with a parent\, and $14 for NMU employees and community members. Registration and tickets are required in either case\, and may be obtained at tickets.nmu.edu. \n  \nJudge Anderson White earned a bachelor’s degree in speech communications from NMU. Her luncheon keynote is titled “The Beloved Community: Where Justice\, Healing\, and Hope Meet.” She will reflect on “how rest\, resilience and justice move us closer to Dr. King’s vision of a world shaped by compassion and hope.” Anderson White’s career and community leadership have advanced those themes as well\, while centering the dignity and potential of every person. \n  \nThe early-access curator’s tour of the national art exhibition\, “Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate\,” is scheduled at 1 p.m. at the Devos Art Museum.
