For 44 years, Expressions of King’s Legacy programming at RIT has been dedicated to celebrating the life and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A New York Times bestselling author and professor at Princeton will deliver the keynote address at Expressions of King’s Legacy. Dr. Eddie Glaude, Jr. will speak Thursday, January 29th in Gordon Field House. The program begins at noon and runs until 2:00 p.m.

He is a contributor on MS NOW (formerly MSNBC),a columnist for TIME Magazine and the author of several books including Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for our Own as well as We Are The Leaders We Have Been Looking For.
