Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Stop by the library to pick up a book about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from our display near the reference desk or grab the current issue of Michigan History magazine to read the article Reflecting on "The Other America": Martin Luther King Jr. in Grosse Pointe by retired Delta faculty member Jeremy W. Kilar and Bradley F. Smith. Dr. King spoke in an unlikely location, predominantly white Grosse Pointe, Michigan, just months before he was assassinated. The article will also be available full-text online after the 180 day publisher embargo. The print copy of Michigan History magazine can be found in the current magazine area of the library.
