Each year, Ithaca College chooses a theme for its annual MLK Week celebration. This year's theme is "Addressing the Fierce Urgency of Now," derived from a speech by Dr. King entitled Beyond Vietnam—A time to Break Silence, delivered April 4, 1967. In the speech, Dr. King motivates us to take advantage of the present. His message emphasizes the fact that time will always keep going – he calls us, instead, to act now.
