📚 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.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with a fresh perspective on Dr. King’s legacy with the insightful Dr. Richard D. Benson II!
