MLK party

A racially insensitive party thrown by white college students "celebrating" Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Activities involve parodying every African-American stereotype possible. Costumes worn by partygoers include blackface, gang apparel, guns, carrying malt liquor, do-rags, fried chicken, gold teeth/grills, females stuffing the rear of their pants, even dressing as Aunt Jemima among others. Brought to national attention in early 2007 when pictures of these parties taken place at Tarleton State University, University of Connecticut School of Law, and Clemson University were discovered on the Facebook website and were later reported by The Smoking Gun website.
