Trinity University staff, students and faculty also participate in one of
the nation’s largest and most historic marches honoring the legacy of Martin
Luther King Jr. Last year San Antonio celebrated the 20th
anniversary of the march. We take chartered buses for this event from
school, that way we can all go as a group and we give away FREE T-shirts for
all those who participate.
