MLK Jr. Lecture & Events
For
over 10 years now Trinity University has celebrated the life and work of
Martin Luther King, Jr with a commemorative lecture.
The
2009 Lecturer was L. Douglas Wilder. Wilder, a
prominent
historical and political figure made history, in 1989, when he won the
Virginia gubernatorial election, breaking a racial divide that had existed
in this country until that point by becoming the first African-American
elected governor in the United States.
