Marc Lamont Hill to deliver MLK Symposium keynote address
By Kevin Brown
Marc Lamont Hill, a leading intellectual voice and the host of HuffPost Live and Black Entertainment Television News, will present the keynote lecture for the 29th annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium in January.
Hill will deliver the traditional address at 10 a.m. Jan. 19 in Hill Auditorium. It is the centerpiece of the symposium, which presents more than 30 events in January and February. It is one of the top national observances honoring King.
The symposium theme, selected by the MLK Jr. Symposium Planning Committee, is "Unity: Not Uniformity." It is inspired by a quote from Coretta Scott King about joining Betty Shabazz, Malcolm X's widow, on stage at the National Black Political Convention in 1972.
