Welcome To Martin Luther King, Jr.
Living History & Public Policy Center
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Living History and Public Policy Center, known simply as The MLK Center, is a consortium of nine universities across the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The MLK Center preserves and advances the philosophy of Dr. King and his presence in the Commonwealth through educational programs, research and policy analysis.
Unlike a bricks and mortar center, the MLK Center is a web-based virtual center. Its archived materials, programs and services are accessible from virtually anywhere in the world as the center takes full advantage of ever changing mobile telecommunications technology.
Programs
“What Might Dr. King Say?” is a series of conversations in the form of symposiums and conferences that address contemporary issues. Join us in January as we speculate on "What Dr. King Might Say about Bullying Among Children?"

The MLK Center advances Dr. King's legacy of high scholastic achievement and excellence in academics. We offer competitive scholarships and book awards to students attending one of The MLK Center’s partner universities.
