January 15, 2021
The “Project 1972: A Conversation with Our Elders” panel is sponsored by the Penn State Forum on Black Affairs and Penn State World Campus Student Affairs as part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration. The Zoom panel included staff and faculty who worked at the University at the height of the Civil Rights movement and students who were first-year students in 1968—the year of King’s assassination—and graduated in 1972. The panel included Gary Abdullah, Monte Dawson, Selma G. Harrison, Earl Frank Merritt, Barry Reddish, and Denita Wright Watson.
