NC State’s 2019 Martin Luther King, Jr. Campus Commemoration will bring National Book Award Winner Ibram X. Kendi to Stewart Theatre on Monday, January 13, 2020 from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. The talk is open to students, faculty and staff.

Kendi is professor and founding director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University and a 2016 National Book Award Winner for Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America. The book questions historical perspectives long regarded as truths, reexamining historical figures such as Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, WEB DuBois and Angela Davis, analyzing their impact and engagement with slavery, race and civil rights with a sharply critical lens.
