Martin Luther King Jr. had a vision of what he called “the beloved community”—a multiracial society committed to equality and social justice. Penn’s King commemoration, which continues through Feb. 1, embodies the spirit of that community through events that bring the entire campus together. Here’s what’s coming up:
