A Look Back At Martin Luther King Jr.

Minnesota Historical Society

As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we not only remember the man,  but his legacy of human rights advocacy that continues on as access to opportunities become more available.

UPR's Taylor Halversen spoke with Marvin Roberts, Assistant Vice President for student engagement and diversity at Utah State University about the man, the meaning of the day and how his dream is still being achieved.

"In 2014, over 50 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Junior's renowned "I have a dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, many people are still striving to make his dream a reality."
