Because of the inclement weather that hit Raleigh Monday afternoon, posing problems for travel, the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Campus commemoration has been postponed.

The event was supposed to feature political analyst and author Juan Williams as the keynote speaker.  The event is organized by N.C. State’s African-American Cultural Center. As of Wednesday afternoon, the new date for the event has not been finalized.

Williams’ presentation was supposed to be entitled, “American Leadership: Stories of Inspiration and Power Behind Proven Leaders.”

Williams is the author of Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary and Eyes on the Prize: America’s Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965.  Williams also hosts America’s Black Forum, a syndicated weekly news program.  He is also a regular panelist on Fox News Sunday and is a political analyst for Fox News.

Williams graduated Haverford College.  He received a B.A. in philosophy in 1976.  Currently, Williams sits on a number of boards, including the Haverford College Board of Trustees, the Aspen Institute of Communications and Society Program, Washington Journalism Center and the New York Civil Rights Coalition.

According to the African American Cultural Center, Williams also worked for National Public Radio.
