📚 Lecture: “Examining The Radical & Unknown Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Richard D. Benson II


Join us for an enlightening evening with Dr. Richard D. Benson II as he explores a historical perspective of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on the radical and activist aspects of this influential figure. While many remember Dr. King for his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech from 1963, this presentation seeks to uncover a more comprehensive understanding of his work and legacy.

Dr. Benson’s lecture aims to provide a broader array of historical and political insights, revealing a version of Dr. King that has not been widely discussed in mainstream discourse. Attendees will gain a deeper appreciation for Dr. King's activism and the profound impacts of his pursuit for social justice.

Dr. Richard D. Benson II is a distinguished educator with a wealth of knowledge on historical activism and civil rights movements. He is committed to illuminating the complexities of Dr. King’s life and the challenges he faced in advocating for change.
