The Martin Luther King, Jr. Days of Dialogue events have been occurring this past week. Mark Willis, a UW graduate, gave a keynote presentation yesterday during this event, in the Union Ballroom at 7 p.m.

“It’s great to talk about my experience and hopefully inspire students to work on their dreams. It’s amazing to be able to come back and talk,” said Willis.

This year’s theme for Days of Dialogue is Afrofuturism in Rural Context. Afrofuturism envisions a future in which African-Americans thrive through all art, science, music etc.
