Engaged Opportunity Grants

Poor People’s Campaign

Confronting the "four evils" of systemic racism, poverty, militarism and ecological devastation

This project brings together campus and community partners for educational dialogue and potential future action related to the intersections of systemic racism, poverty, militarism and ecological devastation. These “four evils” identified by the 2018 Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival build on the “evil triplets” that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. denounced in launching the original Poor People’s Campaign of 1967–68. The anchor activity will be a daylong workshop for 120 participants. Cornell students will play a key role, working closely with faculty and staff mentors and community partners, who will give guidance in planning, execution and post-event critical reflection.

Grant category: Student Leadership

Topics: Access, Equity and Justice; Culture, Language and History
