MLK Jr. Legacy Week

A Critical Conversations Event

At Pratt Institute, we will extend our reflection and action from MLK Jr. Day throughout MLK Jr. Legacy Week from February 3 – February 9, 2025. This week-long series of programs and events will provide students, faculty, and staff with opportunities to meaningfully engage with the campus community through dialogue, learning and collective action.

As we celebrate MLK Jr. Legacy Week, we must also confront the challenges that remain. The struggle for equity is still ongoing, and the dream of a just and compassionate society calls for our collective commitment..We invite you to join us in honoring Dr. King’s legacy with intention, service and a shared commitment to shaping a future where social justice, institutional equity, and compassion prevail.
