Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration

Grant Hill, an Olympian and Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, will be the keynote speaker this year for Duke’s Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration. Hill is a Duke alumnus and trustee as well as a two-time men’s basketball national champion. The theme of the service, which is free and open to the public, is “Our Path to Progress: Realizing King’s Dream of True Freedom for All.” The commemoration is also part of Duke’s Centennial Celebration, marking 100 years since Trinity College became Duke University.
