This is the University of Florida 2025 MLK Lecture.
From the UF website:
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is too often frozen on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial dreaming about colorblindness.
But his vision for America is far more complex than a handful of reductive sound bites from the famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Dr. King envisioned an America that rejected racism, militarism, and corporate greed, and embraced instead race consciousness, justice, peace, and economic equality.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, associate professor of history at The Ohio State University, will deliver the 2025 MLK lecture at the University of Florida titled Where do we go from here? Afrofuturism and Dr. King’s Vision for America.
A leading author and scholar in the history of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Jeffries will explore Dr. King’s vision for America and the blueprint he provided for making it a reality.
Attendees are invited to a free reception immediately following the program in the O’Neill Reading Room on the second floor of Pugh Hall.
Please visit the UF website for a link to the live stream of the talk.
