Author and journalist Bebe Moore Campbell spoke to a full EMU Ballroom Monday night
for the 19th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration.
MLK: University worked with
community to plan the event
Continued from page 1
The event was organized by the
Lane County Martin Luther King Jr.
Celebration Committee, but University
representatives helped coordinate and
plan, said Kimi Mojica, the director of
Diversity Education and Support Ser
vices for the Office of Student Life. The
University had not participated in the
community’s celebration for the three
years she has worked here, she said.
“I think it’s important to build a
bridge, not only within, but outside the
University to the community,” Mojica
said. “Having the celebration here is a
good way to... open our doors.”
The evening featured performances
by the Bethel Temple Choir, the Eu
gene Peace Choir, the University
Gospel Ensemble and others.
Gospel Ensemble keyboardist and
sophomore jazz piano major Easton
Stuard said it’s important that stu
dents appreciate acceptance and tol
erance when celebrating Martin
Luther King Jr. Day.
“There’s a lot less racial prejudice
going on today than there used to be,
but there still is plenty,” Stuard said.
“We take for granted that we get treat
ed equally.... We have to appreciate
Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. ”
Although minorities have more
opportunities than in the past, Eu
gene still has work to do, Piercy told
the crowd.
“It is ever important to remind our
selves of the work still to be done to as
sure that every one of us is treated fair
ly and justly, and that we live well
together not in spite of racial differ
ences but because of our human com
monality,” Piercy said, adding that
Oregonians “have to acknowledge our
history of racism.”
“It is part of where we come from,”
she said. “(It) has much to do with
who we are and the challenges we face
to truly make Eugene a good place for
everyone to live.”
