2018 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration Keynote Address

Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF), will deliver the keynote address for Duke University's annual Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration. Ifill, the LDF's seventh president since Thurgood Marshall founded the organization in 1940, is a former professor at the University of Maryland School of Law.

The public is invited to the annual program, which will link Dr. King's civil rights legacy to the continuing struggle for equity and justice in all facets of our society. The commemoration event starts at 3 p.m. in Duke University Chapel, and free parking is available in the Bryan Center Parking Garage (see map at http://myatlascms.com/map/?id=21&mrkIid=39570).
