of Arts and Sciences, the program in Africana Studies, and the Chattanooga
Phi Beta Kappa Association will sponsor a lecture to which all are invited.
Here are the details:

        Speaker:        Dr. Houston Roberson, Department of History, University of the South

                        Civil Rights"

        Time/Place:     4:30 PM, Raccoon Mountain Room, Monday, 12 September 2005


Martin Luther King, Jr., was pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptists fifty years
ago when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery.
That event and meetings at Dexter Avenue launched the modern civil rights
movement. Dr. Roberson will also be available to sign copies of his book,
_Fighting the Good Fight: A History of Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist
Church, 1865-1977_ (Routledge, 2005) after the talk.
