I already posted my speech from the MLK Peace Service, but I have no recorded it for those who are listening to our Schreyer Honors College Podcasts. I thought I would share it here as well.
Today we remember MLK and his great contributions to our society and world. I was honored to be asked to speak at the PSU service later today. My remarks are below. After having spent the last several weeks reading Dr. King’s sermons I am keenly aware of how limited and […]
