DESCRIPTION:The Barbara Lee and Elihu Harris Lecture Series presents a conversation 
 with Virtual Murrell on Saturday, September 16, at 7 pm in the Huey P. 
 Newton and Bobby Seale Student Lounge at Merritt College in Oakland. The 
 event is co-produced by the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center and the 
 Peralta Community College District. To reserve free tickets, call the 
 Freedom Center office at (510) 434-3988.\n\nMurrell is a former member of 
 the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, a dynamic leader, political 
 figure, advisor and author who has been active for six decades organizing 
 and helping protect and promote democracy. He has been celebrated by Black 
 Panther Party members and founders for his organizing skills, attention to 
 detail and compelling public speaking talent. Author of the recently 
 published book, In Pursuit of America's Promise: Memoirs of a Black 
 Panther, Murrell began his life's work as an organizer while a student at 
 Merritt College in the 1960s, and it is fitting he returns to Merritt for 
 this lecture.\n\nBobby Seale has spoken of Mr. Murrell as follows: "Virtual 
 Murrell has been a personal friend of me and my family since 1962. He and I 
 were the leaders and founders of one of the first Black student activist 
 organizations in the country. Moreover, we also co-founded one of the first 
 Black history and Black Studies programs. It could not have been done 
 without the leadership abilities and roles of Virtual Murrell."\n\nFree 
 with reservation.\n
