Keynote Speaker Jaime Schultz at Central College for MLK Day

Central College will observe its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day commemoration with a public session featuring keynote speaker Jaime Schultz, professor of kinesiology at Penn State. Her visit is made possible through a grant from the Moore Family Foundation.
Schultz, author of "Moment of Impact: Injury, Racialized Memory and Reconciliation in College Football," investigates the story of Jack Trice and other Black athletes at Iowa colleges. Her work examines persistent inequities in sports and provides a historically grounded lens on race, memory and social justice that will guide this year's program.

The keynote session will begin at 9:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 19, in Douwstra Auditorium on the Central campus and will be open to the public.
