Susquehanna University celebrated the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with an inspiring program of music and remarks by special guests James Stowe and the Rev. C.T. Vivian. Stowe is executive director of the Montgomery County, Md., Office of Human Rights, and Vivian is a Baptist minister and civil rights activist who was a rider on the first “Freedom Bus” into Jackson, Miss., and later worked alongside King.

Stowe delivered an address titled Who’s Got Next?, a charge to students and others to stand up and be counted among those who believe in freedom and responsibility, the university theme for this academic year.

A reception followed the convocation in Charlie's Coffeehouse, featuring an additional performance by the SFNY Jazz Quartet.
