Heard on Campus: Keith Boykin at the MLK Evening Celebration

"These are times for us to come together as a community -- the 'beloved community' that Dr. King spoke of -- rather than be divided by our differences... It's easy to care about people who look like me and who think like me, but it's harder to care about people who look and think differently. That's the great challenge."

-- Keith Boykin, editor of The Daily Voice online news site, a CNBC contributor, a BET TV host and a New York Times best-selling author of three books, speaking Wednesday (Jan. 20) at Eisenhower Auditorium for the 2010 Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Evening Celebration, which also featured performances by State College Friends School, Silent Praise and Essence of Joy.
