The Reuther Library and Wayne State University will be closed Monday January 20, 2025 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

We hope you'll take the time to reflect on Dr. King's life and work. Our collections offer some opportunities:

• The creation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

• Dr. King's support of the Memphis Sanitation Worker Strike of 1968

• Dr. King's first delivery of the "I Have a Dream" speech at Detroit's TCF Center (then Cobo Hall)

As always, we are happy to assist you in finding materials related to Dr. King (or any topic) via Ask an Archivist.

Our final day of service in the Reading Room this year is Monday, December 23rd. Beginning at noon on December 24, the Reuther Library and Wayne State University will close for winter break. We will reopen with our regular hours starting January 2, 2025. Please feel free to submit reference questions at reutherreference@wayne.edu and we will get back to you when we return.

Thank you for a wonderful 2024, and we look forward to supporting your research in the new year! Have a safe and happy holiday season!
