It’s Dream Week at SMU—a time to reflect on the enduring legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The week kicked off with Unity Circle, bringing students, faculty, staff and administrators together for a powerful moment of reflection and to honor those who came before us.

Keynote speaker and @smulawschool Professor Jessica Dixon Weaver reflected on Dr. King’s final book, "Chaos or Community," urging an all-embracing, unconditional love for all and reminding us that, no matter our background, we are called to love one another.
