UM to Host Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Lecture via ZOOM
The University of Montana, in honor of the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, will present a lecture via ZOOM by a prominent professor from Penn State University on Thursday, January 14.
Professor of History and Director of the African American Studies Program at the University of Montana Tobin Miller Shearer provides these details.
“We ve invited Dr. Crystal Sanders from Penn State University to come here virtually to give a lecture this year on Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights activists that we may not know as much about,” said Miller Shearer. “We had a conversation with the Black Student Union and they wanted to hear about the struggles that those asking that those African American civil rights activists face as well as their white allies during the civil rights era. And Dr. Sanders is well equipped to give us that very lecture.”
