Villanova University will host its annual Freedom School in observance of the memory and legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., on Thursday, January 21, 2010. Freedom School sessions may cover a variety of topics, such as immigration, the possibilities and challenges of globalization, the rule of law and respect for human rights, affirmative action, education and social justice, peacebuilding and peacemaking, nonviolence and nonviolent social change, and the sins of racism and white supremacy. Each session lasts about an hour, and sessions run in line with our regular class schedule (10:00 am, 11:30 am, 1:00 pm, and 2:30 pm).

Please consider offering a Freedom School session on a topic of your choosing. Sessions led by Villanova students and staff are welcomed and encouraged. The deadline for proposals is Tuesday, November 10.
