The Longest Table

Wright State University kicked off its Martin Luther King Jr. celebration with The Longest Table, a dinner table with free food designed to enable Wright State students, faculty and staff to sit down together and talk about the diversity of the university and how to ensure inclusion and justice for all.

A dozen tables were joined together along with conversation starters at each of the 150 chairs. “Coming together at a common table over a meal and meeting people that they wouldn’t have necessarily have know otherwise,” said Lindsey Steller, one of the organizers of the event.

The event was sponsored by the Bolinga Black Cultural Resource Center, Counseling and Wellness Services, the Office of LGBTQA Affairs, the Office of Student Activities and Wright-Patt Credit Union.
