Glenn Blackburn was an 18-year-old college freshman in April, 1960, when he started the African Student Program at Wake Forest. His goal was to bring an African student to the United States and present him to the Board of Trustees, saying he wants to become a student. Will you accept him?

It took two years, and shortly after that, on behalf of the College Lecture Series, he was having dinner with Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. and introducing him to a crowd of over 2,000 in Wait Chapel.

Ever the historian, Glenn writes a book on Saving Great Places, stories of the coastal waters of North Carolina, including Bird Island, Kindred Spirits and a Mailbox.

It's all here in a riveting conversation, Monday, March 10.
