Hey, you! Did you miss out on the MLK Symposium events because you were out of town last weekend? Well, worry no more because the conversation continues! On January 26th at 5pm in the Michigan Union Pond Room come hear Professor Beverly Guy-Sheftall and Professor Anna Julia Cooper give a lecture entitled: “Revisioning the Life of Coretta Scott King.” Professor Guy-Sheftall is the founding director of the Women’s Research and Resource Center while Professor Cooper is among the faculty in the Women’s Studies department at Spelman College (MLK Symposium website). I’m really excited to learn about Coretta Scott King because I honestly know slim to nothing about her. On the MLK Symposium 2012 website, it says: “Repositioning Coretta Scott King, mostly known as Dr. King’s widow, as a warrior for social justice, this talk will provide a fuller portrait of her extraordinary and largely invisible life…”
Should be an interesting lecture, so if you aren’t busy, come on by!
