PROF. RUHA BENJAMIN FEATURED AT UNIVERSITY MLK CELEBRATION

Speaking in Metcalf Hall, with more than a thousand people in attendance on Monday, Prof. Benjamin brought the audience to its feet as she asked what “barking dogs and fire hoses” need to be silenced in our own brains to make it possible to pursue the kind of society Dr. King imagined.  The University’s annual remembrance ceremony was titled “Manifest Our Destiny” and featured a variety of student speakers and performers and honors BU alum the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
