On Tuesday, January 22, the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine will be honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King with a presentation by one of King's colleagues from the civil rights era.

Robert Green, PhD, was a close personal friend of Dr. King and worked with him from 1965-1967 as education director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He was also the first African-American dean at MSU, serving the College of Urban Development, where he now is professor of urban affairs.

Dr. Green is a nationally known scholar on urban issues, including the impact of race, education, and employment on individuals and communities. He will be speaking at MSUCOM at 12:00 p.m., E105 Fee Hall.
