In April 1968 two OSU student leaders, one white and one black, traveled to Atlanta to represent the University at an academic conference. They were in Atlanta when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. During the journey they were threatened by Alabama State troopers, went to Ebenezer Baptist Church for services, and navigated through riots. Keith McGlamery and Harold Fields are coming together after 50 years to share their experiences, talk about the connections to Dr. King through time, reflect on what they learned from each other, and discuss the differences in America’s racial climate since then.
