Black Studies Lecture Features Civil Rights Experts Harold Taylor, left, and Bob Zellner, right

The University of Southern Mississippi Center for Black Studies will present a groundbreaking lecture on Tuesday, Feb. 9, that serves as a living testimony to the importance of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds.

The presentation titled, “Civil Rights and Black Power: The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Black Panther Party” will be held at 6 p.m. in the Polymer Science Auditorium of the Shelby Freland Thames Polymer Science Research Center on the Hattiesburg campus.

The lecture features two men who chose very different paths to overcoming injustice in the black freedom struggle of the 1960s. Dr. Bob Zellner, civil rights scholar and Harold Taylor, former member of the Black Panther Party, will offer their insights on that tumultuous period in U.S. history.

The academic year was 1949-1950: Pressure from the Soviet Union moved Harry Truman to order the development of the hydrogen bomb, and a historic decade began on campus during which MSC would join the NCAA and post its first undefeated football season.
