South Suburban College MLK Celebration 2023

On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have A Dream” speech to millions across the country, inspiring a civil rights movement bound to change the nation for the better. Almost 60 years later in 2023, King’s impact hasn’t lessened, and many, including those at South Suburban College (SSC), are still honoring King for his major contributions and advocacy during this time.

SSC students, faculty, community members, and local leaders alike gathered together at the Kindig Performing Arts Center on Monday, January 16 to honor King’s legacy. The ceremony held on what would be King’s 94th birthday, centered around the theme of ”Restoration of Unity and Peace.”
