this to you first, but I must say the MLK Diversity was executed with
perfection. Kudos to Mr. Blake and the planning team. Rev. Dr. Otis Moss was everything
I expected and more. I could listen to him for hours talk about his talks and his
very intimate experiences with Dr. King. We must bring him back to have a more
intimate conversation with our students, faculty and staff. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
