Martin Luther King Jr. March on West
Celebrating the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. with the annual March on West
The annual Martin Luther King Jr. March on West is a tradition at Arizona State University’s West campus that dates back to 1991. Hundreds of middle school students participate in interactive educational presentations about the civil rights movement before preparing posters and recreating the historical 1963 March on Washington, D.C. At the end of the march, they will hear the inspirational “I Have a Dream” speech, reenacted by ASU faculty member Charles St. Clair.
