The Amos Lecture Scholarly Lecture Series
The Amos Lecture Scholarly Lecture Series Committee is pleased to announce the 2017 speaker, Dr. Newby-Alexander. A professor of history at Norfolk State University and the director of the Joseph Jenkins Roberts Center for African Diaspora Studies, Dr. Newby-Alexander will lecture on “America’s Black Past Matters.”
The program is open to all members of the Lincoln University community and will be held on Tuesday February 7, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. in the Chapel.
The Amos Scholarly Lecture Series was established by descendants of Reverend Thomas Hunter Amos, 1887 graduate of The Lincoln University and founding President of Harbison College in Abbeville, S.C. Reverend Amos was the son of Thomas Henry Amos and nephew of James Ralston Amos, both members of the University’s first graduating class in 1859.
The purpose of the lecture series is to “stimulate the minds of the Lincoln family in pursuit of a liberal arts education, with emphasis on the theological, philosophical, classical, historical and scientific disciplines.”
