Some 48 years after his death, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day will undoubtedly bring protests to college campuses around the country, including here at the 91探花. The students will march peacefully and forcefully. They will ask how long it will take to create a climate that welcomes every student. They will ask how we, as a university, plan to address 鈥渆conomic colonialism鈥 and how administrators plan to create a true multiracial campus that will serve as prelude to a 鈥渕ultiracial nation where all groups are dependent on each other.鈥
