Black History Program: Dr. Rolundus Rice

Date

Feb 28, 2022

Time

11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Dr Rolundus Rice

 

The college will have the exceptional privilege in welcoming Dr. Rolundus Rice to be a speaker on Monday, February 28 at 11:00 AM on the Decatur Campus in the ATC Lecture Hall. He holds a Ph. D. in History from Auburn University. He is the first recipient in Auburn’s history to go from receiving a GED to Ph. D. Dr. Rice has a wonderful story that I believe will be encouraging to our students and community. He also wrote a great book on the life of one of our greatest unsung Civil Rights leaders, the Rev. Hosea Williams.

This event is open to the public. This will be a program that will inspire anyone to continue with their career goals.  “The definitive treatment of one of our great freedom fighters of the twentieth century.” –Cornel West“Rice’s pathbreaking book rightly establishes Hosea Williams as one of the most colorful and creative personalities to emerge in the pitched battle to make America a just nation.” –Michael Eric Dyson“I believe the story could be made into a movie because it reads like an action movie with a larger-than-life hero.” –Ambassador Andrew YoungSee these links for more information on Dr. Rice:http://thedapperdean.com/about-mehttps://www.amazon.com/Rolundus-R-Rice/e/B096K25JL5Please contact Ernest Williams for more information.
