FOREST CITY – In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Waldorf College will be hosting poet, musician and social educator, Mohammed Bilal, Monday, January 19 at 10:00 a.m. in the Atrium.
Bilal is best known as “the even-tempered, dread-locked rapper guy” on MTV’s 1994 Real World III: San Francisco. After becoming a well-known public figure, Bilal went on to receive his M.A. in Diversity Studies and has spent 14 years creating fun, innovative ways to educate people about today’s greatest social problems, including diversity.
Bilal has several presentations that focus on diversity, including “12 Steps to Appreciating Diversity,” “Preference & Prejudice” and “Toward Excellence.” He uses methods such as rap and spoken word to deliver his message, as well as incorporating open interaction with the audience.
The presentation will run approximately one hour. This event is free and open to the public, and can be streamed live through the campus stream found at www.waldorf.edu/social.
