MLKing Pulitzer Biographer Taylor Branch to speak at Samford

Postby Stephen Fox » Mon Sep 17, 2012 3:06 pm

Hid Dad was a graduate of the school. His Brother Randy is a member at Heritage BC in Cartersville, Ga with our friend Lamar Wadsworth.

I hope to be present for Branch's Lecture Homecoming Weekend at Samford Mid October.

I just stumbled over this SU alum mag piece from 2006 and it is fascinating.

Scroll down a little for the Branch interview. Be patient and scroll toward the end of this online issue for the review of Jonathan Bass's Book on the 8 white ministers to whom King sent the letter from the Bham Jail.

KeithE, hope to see you at Samford for this lecture. I am hoping at least ten students from my Mother's Alma mater in Collinsville will make the trip for this great opportunity.

Balmer has posted on his facebook wall he will be the speaker this coming year joining Branch and Charles Marsh and other greats in this outstanding lecture series.

Invitations are in play to have Chk Fil A CEO Dan Cathy in the audience as Randall has written beautifully about Cathy's father's namesake, George W. Truett
