Why are you interested in the Gandhi-King Community?
I am the inaugural Humanities Scholar in Residence at the Medical University of South Carolina. I am charged with the task of strengthening the humanities presence in a large academic health center that includes a hospital and schools of Dental Medicine, Graduate School, College of Health Professions, College of Medicine, College of Nursing and College of Pharmacy.

I have conducted extensive research on the Black Panther Party and co-wrote REVOLUTIONARY SUICIDE, the autobiography of Huey P. Newton.

My current research and writing is focused on academic success of minority students in higher education, and also in-depth studies of Gullah/Geechee communities in South Carolina and Georgia. I currently serve on the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission that covers coastal North Carolina, Soujth Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

I am absolutely and totally committed to Peace and Social Justice. The late Howard Thurman and Septima Clark were among my many wonderful mentors and role models.

Your mentors and role models are incredibly powerful. Some of us (me) know of these folks through reading only. I am sure the business of moving humanity along the spectrum of freedom deepens when one (such as yourself) knows/knew these humanitarians in person.

Hi Herman,
I am looking forward to going to India to participate in a three-week seminar on Gandhi for 15 Stanford students. It will be a wonderful opportunity to learn by sharing ideas with people interested in nonviolent transformation. Thanks for providing a profile of your activities in recent years.

Hi,
Thanks so much for joining. I hope you will find time to participate and stay in touch. I'm off to India on Sunday to study Gandhi and contemporary Gandhians.
