An in-depth exhibition at Sapienza celebrating Martin Luther King - the icon of the Civil Rights Movement An in-depth exhibition at Sapienza celebrating Martin Luther King - the icon of the Civil Rights Movement =========================================================================================================== CIVIS Highlights 2 Δεκεμβρίου 2025 SUR is hosting a powerful exhibition dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr., exploring his life, his enduring legacy, and the profound significance of his struggle for civil rights. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the global impact of King’s fight for equality and to discover how his message resonated in Italy, inspiring conversations on justice, civic responsibility, and human rights. ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/03-mlk-foto-di-stefania-sepulcri-3_1.jpg)©Stefania Sepulcri for SUR Set within Sapienza University’s main campus, the exhibition features an extensive collection of materials - photographs, personal objects, music, film, newsreels, and exclusive interviews - alongside an interactive digital experience called “Dream Builder.” The display is organized into two complementary sections: 1. ***Right to Freedom. Martin Luther King Jr.*** - originally produced by the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm, this section focuses on the African American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. It introduces visitors to the universal struggle for human rights and social justice—an ideal championed by Martin Luther King that remains as relevant today as ever; 2. ***Martin Luther King, Jr. and Italy*** - developed through a scientific and cultural project led by Sapienza, this section presents previously unpublished materials illustrating how King’s powerful message was perceived in Italy during the 1950s and 1960s—an aspect of Italian history rarely explored in such depth. Two aproaches on public’s interest ---------------------------------- The exhibition is designed for a diverse audience, from students to the wider public. ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/01-mlk-foto-di-martina-manolio_1.jpg) © Martina Manolio for SUR Its educational approach and strong civic relevance make it particularly suitable for school visits, while its rich documentation and original themes will captivate anyone interested in participation, justice, and social commitment. Open until 15 January, the exhibition forms part of a broader cultural program dedicated to promoting social justice, civic engagement, and human dignity. **More details are available in the** [**original story, in Italian**](https://www.uniroma1.it/it/https%3A//www.uniroma1.it/it/node/537016)**.** ### Latest Highlights: [*The links between science and beliefs, debated at the amU' Science and Arts Festival 2025*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/the-links-between-science-and-beliefs-debated-at-the-amu-science-and-arts-festival-2025) [*UN warning that drought could be the next pandemic, backed by UofG research*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/un-warning-that-drought-could-be-the-next-pandemic-backed-by-uofg-research) [*Cross-cutting skills are key for today's learners, UAM-backed study says*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/cross-cutting-skills-are-key-for-today-s-learners-uam-backed-study-says) [*University of Bucharest Researchers Gear Up for Transdisciplinary 2026 Antarctic Expedition*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/university-of-bucharest-researchers-gear-up-for-transdisciplinary-2026-antarctic-expedition) [*300,000-year-old Genomes: History of the Schöningen Horses Deciphered*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/300-000-year-old-genomes-history-of-the-schoningen-horses-deciphered) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/2026-01-10-145317-800x600.jpg?token=bdddc6c1d1da89737850041c5fc0c227)Φοιτητές του CIVIS προσφέρουν «μουσική ανάσα» σε ασθενείς με άνοια και τους φροντιστές τους Connect 22 Απριλίου 2026 ](https://civis.eu/el/the-civis-newsroom/musicians-from-all-over-civis-come-together-in-madrid-to-promote-inclusiveness) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/at-irene-scifoni-02-sapienza-quantum-lab-copia-800x600.jpg?token=29eb8cbaf2383ed4bff95ad36bf7213b)SUR's modular photonic computer is now fully operational CIVIS Highlights 26 Ιανουαρίου 2026 ](https://civis.eu/el/the-civis-newsroom/sur-s-modular-photonic-computer-is-now-fully-operational) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/scalone-at-stefano-segati-800x600.jpg?token=734ed2f975bbbae331b190d46e57f25e)90 Years of Sapienza Main Campus: a celebration of renewal and solidarity CIVIS Highlights 22 Οκτωβρίου 2025 ](https://civis.eu/el/the-civis-newsroom/90-years-of-sapienza-main-campus-a-celebration-of-renewal-and-solidarity) [Ανακαλύψτε όλες μας τις ιστορίες](https://civis.eu/el/the-civis-newsroom) [ NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte pays a visit to the University of Bucharest and talks to the students ](< https://civis.eu/el/the-civis-newsroom/nato-secretary-general-mark-rutte-pays-a-visit-to-the-university-of-bucharest-and-talks-to-the-students >) [ The links between science and beliefs, debated at the amU' Science and Arts Festival 2025 ](< https://civis.eu/el/the-civis-newsroom/the-links-between-science-and-beliefs-debated-at-the-amu-science-and-arts-festival-2025 >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
