Join OLLU for Annual Martin Luther King Jr. March

OLLU staff, faculty, and alumni are invited to join us at the 38th Martin Luther King, Jr. March and Celebration on Monday, January 20th.

The pre-march program begins at 8am, line-up begins at 9am, and the march will kick off promptly at 10am.

Free VIA bus services to the March will run from 8am-10am and again from 12pm-3pm from Freeman Coliseum and St. Phillip’s College.

OLLU will be lined up with the other colleges/universities from the city, so look for the OLLU flag and banner. This march is the largest in the nation and a great opportunity to stand in solidarity and celebration with our local and national community. Marchers are encouraged to wear warm, but comfortable clothing (a great opportunity to show off those OLLU hoodies)! For more information: MLK March – City of San Antonio
