    Selma at 50 and Ferguson Today

    Tue, Mar 03, 2015
    The 2015 Spring Lowell Lecture hosted by BU's School of Theology featured a conversation with two alumni who had participated in marches in Alabama after the events of Bloody Sunday that took place on March 7, 1965. Joining the two alumni was Reverend Dr. Pamela Lightsey, who traveled to Ferguson, Missouri in the fall of 2014 to witness the new wave of civil protests that took place after the killing of Michael Brown. She shared video footage from her participation as clergy marching in with the protesters. Following the discussion, the Seminary Singers Concert features Mark Miller, Minister of Music at Church Christ in Summit and faculty at Drew Theological and the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale.
