"They said I would never make it/But I was built to break the mold/The only dream that I've been chasing is my own" - Alicia Keys

At a critical time in the civil rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. visited UCLA and delivered a 55-minute speech - "Segregation Must Die", at the base of Janss Steps. By virtue of a USAC Resolution and the campus leadership of the UCLA Beloved Community Initiative, UCLA commemorates the legacy Dr. King's historic 1965 visit, on the 4th Tuesday of April each year, with a day of films, broadcasts, panels and more.
