As part of a celebration of the life
of Martin Luther King Jr., the Univer
sity community participated in a
workshop titled “A Leader’s Legacy:
Remembering the Reverend in Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and Learning
From His Gall to Lead” Wednesday.
About 20 people attended the work
shop, which was organized by the
MLK committee, consisting of repre
sentatives of the Black Student
Union, Office of Student Life, Col
lege of Education and Office of Multi
cultural Affairs.
The discussion, led by five pan
elists, focused on how King’s faith in
fluenced his leadership style.
“So much is said about Dr. King’s
leadership but is not related to the bib
lical basis of his actions,” senior Corey
Mainor said. He said the workshop was
“a re-emphasis of the ‘Reverend’ title
of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”

was to study the qualities of King
as a leader.
“Reverend King is the epitome of an
effective God-fearing leader,” she said.
Quoting heavily from the Bible,
panelists talked about different as
pects of King’s leadership including
perseverance, sacrifice and unity from
a religious context. Mainor praised
King for his perseverance in working
to build the civil rights movement,
saying the most important aspect of
perseverance was finding advantages
in the midst of disadvantages.
University senior and panelist
Ndidi Unaka connected King’s fre
quent speeches with the Bible.
“In Genesis, God spoke every
thing into existence,” Unaka said.
“Martin Luther King spoke to the
hardships of the oppressed, he spoke
God’s word to the masses.”
Junior Jason Floyd said King
believed God would help him
achieve his goals if he did what
God wanted of him.
Apart from addressing elements
of King’s leadership, workshop par
ticipants considered issues in con
temporary society such as access to
education, labor issues and affirma
tive action and how King might
have approached the issues.
The workshop is part of a series
