Noted Black Culture Expert to be Featured Speaker
HAMBURG, N.Y. – Acclaimed black popular culture expert Mark Anthony Neal, Ph.D., will be the keynote speaker at an address commemorating the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. that will be held at 4 p.m. Jan. 27 in Hilbert College’s Palisano Lecture Room (101 Bogel Hall).
Neal’s discussion will bridge the gap of knowledge between the civil rights movement and the hip-hop generation, and also address King’s historical significance with current events.

A regular commentator on National Public Radio, he writes about popular culture and parenting in his column for theLoop21.com, hosts the weekly Webcast “Left of Black” and contributes to several online media outlets, including New Black Magazine.
Neal has authored five books, including the New Black Man and the forthcoming Looking for Leroy: (Il)Legible Black Masculinities. He’s also co-editor of That's the Joint!: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader, 2nd Edition.
