Join the African American Cultural Center, Multicultural Student Affairs, and the NC State campus community in commemorating the legacy and life of the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior. January 17-22, 2022.

As we commemorate another year in the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we acknowledge the process of transformation that happens when we see ourselves and our works as seeds for structural change. We do this to hold space for accountability in alignment with the North Carolina state motto, “to be, rather than to seem.”

Feed the Pack is hosting a pop-up pantry on January 18 from 12-2 p.m! In honor and celebration of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., join Feed the Pack in expanding accessibility and continuing to fight food insecurity on NC State's campus.

Please join Feed the Pack food pantry on Thursday January 20 from 5-6 p.m. as we welcome Dr. Lynn Johnson for an evening of learning and discussion. Dr. Johnson is a professor and scholar of Africana Studies and Food Studies at Dickinson College, and she is currently completing a manuscript that examines the relationship between food and psychological disease and wellness as portrayed in African American fiction. 

This talk will outline the ways in which African Americans' wedding of food, cooking, and commensality with their activist praxes during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement aligns with “the dimensions of a complete life” that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. advocated. In so doing, it will explore the lives of participants in lunch counter sit-ins and Black restaurant owners who not only fed Black activists, but also offered a safe space for protest strategizing. Moreover, it will link these historical case studies with those drawn from contemporary food justice movements. The lecture will last 45 minutes and will be followed by a 15 minute Q&A. We look forward to seeing you there to learn more about the history of food in the Civil Rights Movement.

Join us for an informative and intimate small panel and group discussion with Black local and state policymakers and elected officials to learn about their experiences creating change in the space around us.

Students will learn about tools and strategies they can use to influence policy and create change in their community or on issues important to them. They also will learn about current topics and issues in the policymaking space. This event is part of our NC State's Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration week programming and celebration.

Registration is required at go.ncsu.edu/acs.
