As we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the month of January, we also honor his words and ideals year round by celebrating diversity in our library and on our campus. Through education and communication we can all work together to achieve true brotherhood.
Library displays focus on leaders and their ideas. Books and bookmarks are available for students. On January 21, 2002, The International Unity Club, under the leadership of RBC student Anton Daniel, presented: DARE TO DREAM: A Program to Honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This program was presented in Ernst Hall Auditorium. Nicole Bethman, Mistress of Ceremonies, welcomed the audience and introduced the presenters. Presenters were as follows: Jason Huddle, "Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Man and His Dream;" Dr. Roland Havis, Professor of Psychology and Sociology at RBC, "Conditions Configuring the Voice of King;" Evanda Watts, Coordinator for Counseling and Diversity Programs at RBC, "Who Was He?;" and Natasha Gonzalez and Anton Daniel, students at RBC, "Why We Celebrate His Life." Tiffany O'Neal, Angela Castlebury and Illustrious Campbell read excepts from speeches and sermons by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Tiffany O'Neal sang "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" and "We Shall Overcome." Nekeeia Dotson led the assembly in "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Both Dr. James B. McNeer, President of Richard Bland College, and Dr. Anne-Marie McCartan, Provost at Richard Bland College, addressed the audience. Closing remarks were made by Matthew Gowin and Rhonda Gurley.
