10th Annual Civil Rights Teach-In
Wed., Jan. 24, 2024 | 2:30-5 p.m.
Leadership Studies Building, McVay Town Hall
Similar to a sit-in protest, a teach-in is an educational forum surrounding a complicated issue, often involving current political affairs. The College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to present the 10th Annual Civil Rights Teach-In Jan. 24 as part of K-State’s Martin Luther King, Jr., Observance Week.
