Each year Fairfield University convenes the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Observance Committee. This Committee is charged with creating a series of events that will invigorate the spirit and inspire all to continue on with the important work reflected in the words, writings, and actions of Dr. King.

The theme for 2012 is "Remember the Dream, It's Our Time to Act!" The University's 2012 observance will take place from Friday, January 20-Friday, January 27.
