In honor of Black History Month, we are featuring The Dr. William G. Anderson Lecture Series: Slavery to Freedom, an award-winning series that highlights living icons of the American Civil Rights Movement. This series is presented by the MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine and sponsored by several other MSU units.

The first presenter, Dr. Mae Jemison, is a doctor, dancer, chemical engineer and the first African American woman to travel to space. She already spoke on February 2, 2017. Whether you were able to make it to this first presentation or not, be sure to mark your calendars for the other two.

The remaining two presentations both take place at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center, and they are free to attend.

The second presenter, Jonathan Capehart, is a journalist, MSNBC contributor and an opinion writer, as well as an editorial board member, for the Washington Post. He will speak on Thursday, February 9, 2017 at 5 p.m.

The final presenter, Johnny Ford, is the first African American mayor of Tuskegee Alabama. He will speak on Thursday, February 23, 2017 at 5 p.m.
