The annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration March and Bell Ringing ceremony was held Friday, Jan. 17, on the University Park campus. The celebration is one of many events planned University-wide to honor King.

The theme of the celebration, "We Won't Stop Here," was taken from King's speech to striking sanitation workers the night before his assassination.

The program started on the steps of Old Main with a march that led to the HUB-Robeson Center, where the program concluded.

Intercom photographer Greg Grieco captured some highlights of the events.
