Eric Dyson, who has been called “a hip-hop
intellectual” and “a street fighter in a suit,”
will be the featured speaker at the College’s annual
Martin Luther King Jr. Day observance, 8:00 p.m. Thursday,
January 16, in Johnston Hall. Information: Ext. 7884.
Dyson, 42, Avalon Professor in the Humanities
at the University of Pennsylvania, will speak on “The
Power of One” in opposing inequality, injustice, and
oppression.
A challenging speaker whose style derives
from his early calling as a Baptist minister, Dyson grew up
in Detroit, attended Carson Newman College in Tennessee, and
holds a doctorate in religion from Princeton University.
His books include I May Not Get There
with You: The True Martin Luther King Jr., and the bestselling
Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur.
His commentaries on American culture have
been heard on most of the major news/talk shows on television
and National Public Radio.
