Welcome Address:
Panel Discussion:
In this discussion, we seek to bring deeper context and understanding to the words, writings and voice of the late Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. PhD.
With the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, America experienced an awakening in the middle of a pandemic that brought awareness to terms such as antiracist and structural racism and, in addition, saw the rebirth in the consciousness for social justice.
Now, a little less than three years after his death, American society finds itself in an eerie flashback that sees the return of book bans, restrictions on the teaching of key periods of American history and the elimination of affirmative action in college admissions.
Our panelists will give their perspectives on how the teachings of Dr. King have been maligned to misinform selected audiences and how we can move forward in realizing his vision for society.
