Sharing
the stage with a bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., author Alice Walker told a packed
Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium at the annual King convocation that the slain civil rights
leader "never left anyone out of his heart." Walker shared her memories
of King's life and death, from hearing him speak to joining mourners after his funeral
in Atlanta. The program included performances by Spirit Drumz and singer Catherine
Owens, co-chair of UCSC's African Black Student Alliance. Students brought from area
high schools and community colleges attended the speech following an outreach event
at UCSC featuring Akasha Hull of the Women's Studies Department. More |
