Lawrence Garnell Stamps (below, right) led a rousing and poignant tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. this afternoon in front of faculty, staff, students and guests from the Lynchburg community in the Houston Memorial Chapel (bottom). Stamps is a retired educator and Lynchburg civil rights activist who as a young man met and was inspired by Dr. King.
Stamps was introduced by Octavia Rodney ’11 (middle), president of the Black Leaders Association on campus. Hermina Hendricks (left), Randolph’s director of Multicultural Services, organized the event as well as a number of other events that will be held on campus throughout January and February as part of Randolph’s 2011 Black History Celebration.
