Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King Series on Racial Justice and Reconciliation


Each year, Mount Holyoke College embarks on an intentionally focused series of events in honor of the distinctive legacies of racial justice activists Coretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our 2026 events are intended to educate, encourage and uplift others in our work towards cultivating racial healing and building community solidarity. The series includes in-person and virtual programming — we invite you to unite with us, learn more about the Civil Rights movement, take action and continue the fight for the rights of women, immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks and all who are disenfranchised and vulnerable. ‘

We are grateful to all of our campus partners working to embrace our interconnectedness and foster racial healing, justice and reconciliation through these initiatives. LITS has collected a range of resources in the Series On Racial Justice and Reconciliation Reading Guide and the Day of Racial Healing Kanopy List.
