THURMAN LECTURER MARVIN DUNN TO DISCUSS 21 ST CENTURY'S PROBLEM OF THE CULTURE LINE. Dr.
Marvin Dunn, author of Black Miami in the Twentieth Century, will be the fifth and final Howard Thurman Lecturer
of the Fall 1999 series at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, December 8, in Elizabeth Hall Chapel. An expert on South
Florida's unique black community and its cultural and political contributions, he will speak on the topic "Black
Reflections: The 21st Century and the Problem of the Culture Line."
Dr. Dunn completed requirements for early graduation from segregated Euclid High School in DeLand in 1957, and
went on to earn a doctorate in psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He joined the faculty of
Miami's Florida International University in 1972 and soon founded, then directed, the university's Cultural and
Human Interaction Center, and later headed the African-New World Studies Program. Since 1980 he has been an
associate professor of psychology at FIU, while authoring a lengthy list of books and articles, lecturing across the
country, and continuing a lifelong involvement in community service. He also has been a radio talk show host on
local, state, national and international issues, and has made numerous appearances as a commentator on national
television. In addition to Black Miami in the Twentieth Century, published in 1997 and acclaimed as the first work
devoted to African Americans' triumphs and horrors during the growth and development of Miami, he is the coauthor of The Miami Riot of 1980: Crossing the Bounds.
