Lecture on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy of Nonviolence
Westminster School librarian Pam McDonald, who has conducted research about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s time in Simsbury with Morehouse College students earning money for their college tuitions and has studied Kingian Nonviolence, will give a public lecture at Westminster on Feb. 10 titled “Dr. King: Champion of Agape Love and the American Dream.”
She will discuss and show video clips of how Dr. King succeeded in bringing calm to moments of crisis, how he encouraged others to embrace the struggle for freedom, and how his philosophy of nonviolence as a strategy is still at work today all over the world.
Pam earned a bachelor’s degree in economics at the University of Connecticut and a M.L.S. at Syracuse University. In 2010, local students expanded her research about Dr. King’s time in Simsbury in 1944 and 1947 into a 15-minute DVD titled “Summers of Freedom.”
The Westminster School Lecture Series features presentations throughout the academic year by Westminster faculty members related to their areas of expertise. The lecture is free and open to the public and will take place from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Gund Reading Room of the Armour Academic Center.
Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the lecture and ample parking will be available in the parking lot adjacent to the Armour Academic Center.
