Black History Month

For all of you fans of hip hop the name Lupe Fiasco more than likely shows up on a number of your itunes or Pandora playlists. Lupe's rise to fame stems from his reputation as a rap philosopher who presents sharp, dynamic lyrics. His most popular songs many of you might have heard include "Kick, Push," his version of "Daydreamin" and his most recent hits "Words I Never Said" and "The Show Goes On." Lupe Fiasco will perform at the University of Wyoming College of Arts and Sciences auditorium Friday, January 20th.

The University of Wyoming is once again celebrating the continuing impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life through the MLK March and Days of Dialogue. This year's theme is "Building Unity Through Community: Local to Global" for events throughout the week following Martin Luther King, Jr./Wyoming Equality Day. Most of the events are open to the public and free to attend.

As part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Days of Dialogue, the P.L.A.Y.E.R.S. Club Steppers will be performing a free show at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18, in the Arts and Sciences Auditorium.
