About Project Search

Martin Luther King Jr. Springfield College Commencement
Martin Luther King Jr. Lecture

In March, we come together to honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., H’64, and reflect on King’s legacy and our Humanics mission of educating students in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to others. The series was launched in 2014 on the 50th anniversary of King’s commencement address to Springfield College. Students, faculty, staff, and the greater community are invited to attend.

Candaras Davison Center
Candaras Davison Center for Inclusion

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that Springfield College stands on the traditional homelands of the Indigenous Algonkian people known as “Agawam.” The Agawam were closely related and diplomatically connected to the Quaboag to the East; the Podunk to the South; the Woronoco to the West; and the Nonotuck, Pocumtuck, and Sokoki to the North. We acknowledge the memory of these Indigenous nations who, after having inhabited this land for more than 10,000 years, were displaced in the 1600s to 1700s by English colonial settlers who exploited Native generosity and provoked warfare.  We acknowledge the surviving Native nations of what is now called “New England”: the Nipmuc and the Wampanoag to the East; the Mohegan and Pequot and Schaghticoke to the South; the Mohican to the West; and the Abenaki to the North. We affirm, honor, and respect the sovereignty of these and hundreds of other Native American nations across North America that survive today.
