On January 17th, 2011, MLK Jr. Day, statuses on Facebook gave thanks for the day off from school to sleep in, do laundry, party one more night and catch up on homework. It was clear that not everyone had in mind this day in history, so when I saw this uploaded picture of the Free Expression Tunnel from Michael Drew Hatcher, a freshman in environmental engineering, I couldn’t help but share it because “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – MLK Jr.
