For the last 25 years, the Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore has honored his memory with a commemorative lecture. On Jan. 13, 2007, Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook filled that role with distinction. She called on her audience to do their part, “to make a difference,” and to be “strengthened by our struggle.”

Those two matters were actually sourced by activists in the Anti-Iraqi War Movement!

However, he didn’t say a word while the preceding British outfit was doing the work. Go figure!
