A Centennial Celebration and Commitment to Action
The University of Mary Washington takes great pride in its association with civil rights pioneer and former professor the late Dr. James Farmer, who would turn 100 in January 2020. We will highlight his imprint through a year-long series of signature events. We will examine the historical context of Dr. Farmer’s life and the ways in which UMW currently acts on principles important to him, including civic engagement, access, and inclusion. We will also look forward, asking ourselves: “What would Dr. Farmer fight for?”
As events are continually evolving and being added, go to umw.edu/farmer for more detailed and up-to-date information.
