President Jeffrey R. Docking will be presenting
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: The Relevance of Nonviolence in Today's World"
Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 4 P.M. at the Adrian Public Library.
This is the first event Adrian College and the Adrian Public Library will be offering in the 2010 Library Lecture series.
“Martin Luther King's message of non-violence and equal opportunity for all people is as relevant today as it was during his lifetime,” said Docking. “This great American represents the highest ideals of American democracy.”
President Docking earned his doctorate in social ethics from Boston University. His dissertation was concentrated on the work and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The goals of this lecture series partnership are to strengthen the College's connections to the public library and the Adrian community, enable faculty to provide service to the community, contribute to the Adrian Public Library adult education programs, and foster interdisciplinary relations among faculty and between faculty and community organizations. This lectureship will offer 2-3 public lectures per season. All lectures are free and open to the public.
