Hotep sheds light for MLK celebration Liliane Long, Contributor The A&T Register

Writer and educator Lasana Hotep took audience members on a historic journey as he delivered his keynote address for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration program on Jan. 19.

With the use of a PowerPoint, Hotep reminded the audience of the legacy that MLK left in this world from his birth in Atlanta, onto his days at Morehouse College, and up until his death in 1968.

"The program was pretty cool. I learned new information about Dr.



King," said Lacey Linton, sophomore social work major from Greenville. "I was amazed at the fact that he entered college at just 15, a lot of us today would not have been able to handle college at such a young age."

Gregory Hill, a senior economics major, opened the program as master of ceremonies, and was followed by greetings from various faces on campus. The university gospel choir also performed followed by SGA president Christian Robinson and the introduction of Hotep.
