MLK Commemoration VIA with Dr. Stacey Floyd-Thomas

11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 12, Cordier Auditorium

In honor of the commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Manchester University welcomes Dr. Stacey Floyd-Thomas. This lecture explores the meaning of the man, mission, and movement of King in relationship to our troubled times. As a moral theologian, religious leader and social activist, Dr. Floyd-Thomas will lecture about what can be gleaned as well as what hope may be found from King’s lifework in addressing our present need as a country and global village as we face a looming mountain of despair. An associate professor of ethics and society at Vanderbilt University Divinity School and College of Arts and Sciences, Floyd-Thomas's research engages broad questions of moral agency, cultural memory, ethical responsibility and social justice.
This program is sponsored by the Peace Studies Institute's Zunkel Fund and the Long Lecture Fund.
