Eighth Annual Rackham King Talks

Black and white image of Martin Luther King Jr. promoting the "King Talks" event titled "Restless Dissatisfaction," featuring Rackham students and focusing on justice and equality.

Rackham Graduate students will communicate the relevance of their work to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy in a TED-talk style. The 2025 MLK Symposium theme is “Restless Dissatisfaction: An Urgent Call for the Pursuit of Justice and Equality.” This theme is inspired by Dr. King’s concept of “divine discontent,” as expressed in his 1964 Nobel Peace Prize speech, where he emphasized the need to maintain a “restless dissatisfaction” with injustice in the world to drive continuous progress toward justice and equality.
