When he delivers his address Wednesday, Jan. 22, and connects with the UMW community, Johnson said, he\u2019ll delve into the importance of serving one\u2019s neighbor, contributing to the community, and building and protecting America\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The event, co-sponsored by Mary Washington\u2019s NAACP College Chapter and Germanna Community College, takes place at 7 p.m. in the Cedric Rucker University Center\u2019s Chandler Ballroom. It\u2019s free and open to the public and serves as the centerpiece of a weeklong celebration honoring King\u2019s life and work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have a mutual obligation to support our neighbor and recognize that our collective uniqueness is our strength,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cOur uniqueness is our genius, and we should celebrate that genius.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson has dedicated his career to addressing inequality, championing justice for marginalized communities and looking out for one another. Under his leadership, the NAACP has reinvigorated its mission, launching impactful campaigns addressing inequities in healthcare, voting rights and technology.<\/p>\n<p>His work has included the 2018 \u201cLog Out\u201d campaign, which called on Facebook to address disinformation targeting African Americans; the 2020 \u201cWe Are Done Dying\u201d campaign, which highlighted racial disparities in healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic; and the 2021 establishment of a cabinet-level position focused on racial justice.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his participation in the UMW event, Johnson shared his enthusiasm for engaging with students. \u201cI always enjoy talking to students,\u201d he said. \u201cIn this moment we need to build the bench of more critical thinkers, and what better way to do so than to engage with students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his career, Johnson has become a respected figure on the national stage, frequently featured on CNN, MSNBC, CBS and other major outlets. His ability to address critical issues and propose actionable solutions has solidified his reputation as an advocate for underserved groups.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information about Johnson\u2019s keynote address and other activities during the week, visit the UMW <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/students.umw.edu\/multicultural\/programs\/dr-martin-luther-king-jr-celebration\/\"><em>James Farmer Multicultural Center\u2019s<\/em><\/a><em> website.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Derrick Johnson takes the stage at the University of Mary Washington next week, his words are expected to resonate far beyond the event\u2019s walls \u2013 inspiring those who hear him to reflect on Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s enduring legacy.
