MLK community celebration with W. Kamau Bell

About the event

The 2020 MLK Community Celebration will feature a keynote address from W. Kamau Bell, a sociopolitical comedian and host of the Emmy Award-winning CNN docu-series United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell. Bell will perform his one-man show, “The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour.” The “Curve” is a comedic, topical exploration of the current state of America’s racism, combined with a little (unknown) history, a little PowerPoint, and a whole bunch of Kamau. It is a seamless mix of stand-up comedy, video and audio clips, personal stories, knowledge dropping, and solo theatrical performance. Learn more about W. Kamau Bell.

The event will also include the presentation of the WSU Distinguished Service Awards and multiple student musical and poetry performances. This event is free and open to the public.
