The College of Idaho is excited to welcome J. Dallas Gudgell to campus Sunday night at approximately 8 p.m. to speak to the community as part of the College’s annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Gudgell’s appearance will come after a candle-light walk from Indian Creek Plaza in downtown Caldwell to the Langroise Center for Performing & Fine Arts. There is no charge to participate in the walk or to attend Gudgell’s appearance.

His talk is titled, “Is the moral arc of the universe just? … Not without our help.”

The Martin Luther King, Jr. events continue on Monday, starting at 9 a.m. with a service project at Farmway Village in Caldwell. For more information, please contact the College's Department of Inclusion & Intercultural Engagement.
