On the 7th of December, the annual Martin Luther King Lecture<\/a> takes place. The 2022 theme is Civil disobedience. An important part of this lecture is the Martin Luther King Performance Competition. Can you make as much of an impact with your speech as Martin Luther King did?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a type of constructive non-violent tension that is necessary for growth\u201d *<\/em> <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To make injustice, racism, and inequality more visible, Martin Luther King jr. stimulated acts of civil disobedience. These acts are remarkable actions or performances that create uneasy and tense situations, and thus stimulate and confront others. Peaceful and creative acts that try to navigate a confrontation to empathy and dialogue, and in the end, to positive change.<\/p>\n

Walk in the footsteps of MLK and inspire others with your (disobedient) performance about how people can join you and join together to come into action, to make sure that no one will be discriminated against, whether that would be because of race, sexuality, or disability.<\/p>\n
