Martin Luther King Symposium at Penn

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Here in the United States (for my international readers), we have the day off from school, the markets are closed and here at Penn, we have the kickoff of Penn's Symposium for Social Change which continues until February 1st. There are so many great events and you can find all the details at the MLK 2008 website.

Here are a couple I will be attending:

Miles To Go: Discrimination Against LGBT People at The University of PennsylvaniaToday
Tue, Jan 22 2008
7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
The LGBT Center, 3907 Spruce Street
ACCESS: General Public

Making Social Change: The Direct Action Campaign: A talk by the founder of Training for Change, George Lakey
Thu, Jan 24 2008
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Logan Hall, The Terrace Room, 249 South 36th St.
ACCESS: General Public

I mentioned that the markets are closed in the US, but that isn't the case in the rest of the world. Overnight, Japanese markets were down 5%, following by plummeting European markets and the Toronto Stock Exchange down almost 600 points. With American markets expected to follow suit tomorrow, Affabillyty is asking where were you the day the stock market crashed?
