Willie Ricks on Black Power, Dr. Malveaux on Economy, & Dele Ogun’s Slave Ship Story

Get ready for an inspiring morning this Thursday as civil rights icon Willie Ricks returns to our classroom! Known for marching alongside legendary figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Kwame Ture, and John Lewis, Willie is a pivotal voice in the fight for equality and the visionary who coined the powerful term “Black Power.” Before Willie, economist Dr. Julianne Malveaux will provide a keen analysis of the current economy, countering Donald Trump’s claims about its success. But that’s not all! We’ll also hear from author and attorney Dele Ogun, who will join us live from London to delve into his thought-provoking book, *A Slave Ship Called Jesus.* Additionally, we’re excited to welcome Dennis Boatwright, the Director of the Center for Pan-African Studies in Detroit, to enrich our discussion with his insights.
