Four African-American Rose-Hulman alumni participated as panelists during a January campus program to observe the contributions of Martin Luther King, Jr. Participating were: Gerald Roberts (1985 electrical engineering), Damon Richards (1984 electrical engineering), Darin Moody (1987 chemical engineering) and Joseph Matthews (1991 electrical engineering). They agreed that while progress has been made to achieve the dreams expressed by the civil rights leader, more work needs to be done if that progress is to continue. The four shared their experiences in becoming successful in their careers and communities.
