Lane Community College will celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a hybrid Zoom/in-person event featuring academic, author and NAACP leader Dr. Ivory A. Toldson. Dr. Toldson is the national director of Education Innovation and Research for the NAACP, professor of counseling psychology at Howard University and editor-in-chief of The Journal of Negro Education. Previously, Dr. Toldson was appointed by President Barack Obama to devise national strategies to sustain and expand federal support to HBCUs as the executive director of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (WHIHBCUs).

The event’s theme focuses on Dr. King’s words, “A right delayed is right denied.” It will also feature a facilitated Q&A session with Toldson, as well as the presentation of the LCC Black Student Union’s Dr. King 2023 Service Award.
