Civil rights pioneer Xernona Clayton has direct experience working with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That made her the ideal choice to serve as featured speaker at Auburn University Montgomery's MLK Jr. Legacy Breakfast on January 22. AUM Assistant Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion Dr. Nichole Thompson says Clayton was a natural choice due to her work with the Kings and the leadership role she takes on important issues.

Registration is available until January 15.
