The Donald L. Hollowell Lecture scheduled for Oct. 13 at 1:30 p.m. at the Morton Theatre in Athens and featuring civil rights pioneer James Meredith, has been canceled.
“Though we are disappointed that Mr. Meredith was unable to come to Athens for this year’s Hollowell lecture, we are pleased that he has agreed to let us record an interview at a later date that we will be posting on the website of UGA’s Center for Social Justice, Human and Civil Rights,” said Llewellyn Cornelius, the Hollowell Distinguished Professor of Social Justice and Civil Rights Studies and director of the center, which co-hosts the event with the School of Social Work.
