Ten African Heroes: The Sweep of Independence in Black Africa

On Sept. 15 at 9:00 am, students, faculty, and staff are invited to join us in Falvey Memorial Library's first floor lounge as Ambassador Thomas Melady, Ph. D., and his wife, Margaret Badum Melady, Ph.D., discuss their recently published book, "Ten African heroes: the sweep of independence in Black Africa". This book documents the authors' own experiences of a turbulent time in African history when ten men chose a non-violent approach to creating change and seeking independence. Ambassador and Dr. Melady's book emphasizes the role of Christianity in the men's actions. A book sale and signing will follow the presentation.
