Martin Luther King, Jr., Day

I don't know a better way of celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., than by immersion in the scholarship that documents his remarkable life, a trail that begins with David Levering Lewis's graceful and eloquent King:  A Critical Biography, first published in 1970.  As guests of New York University, the Spring 2013 class of Glenn Fellows last night attended a lecture by Professor Lewis at NYU's Brademas Center in downtown Washington.  Above, Professor Lewis is shown (in the middle) with, from left to right, Ken Kolson, Tim Bosserman, Gabrielle Romberger, Samanta Franchim, Alissa Belna, Erika Ward, and Joe Sadek. 

Thanks to Alissa, who is interning this semester in Speaker Boehner's office, the fellows have ringside seats for today's inauguration ceremonies.  And thanks to Joe, the WAIP program has established a friendly relationship with our colleagues at the Brademas Center.
