Martin Luther King Jr. was a visionary leader whose words and enduring legacy continue to inspire, over fifty years after his passing. And while there is still progress to be made, Dr. King moved the nation forward, tirelessly advocating for a more just and equitable world.  UC Davis is consistently ranked by Forbes as a great employer for diversity, which is something that our institution is very proud of, and we acknowledge that this achievement is a result of the hard work Dr. King started and our workforce advances day in, day out.
