A Visit with Robert Hamblin

Dr. Robert Hamblin, a DSU graduate (class of 1960), will be on campus for two presentations on March 5. Dr. Hamblin is a wonderful poet and an internationally-known Faulkner scholar.

Later that day, he will present a lecture, "Legacies of the Battles of Ole Miss: The Meredith Crisis and the 1965 Southern Literary Festival." The lecture will be held in the gallery of the Capps Archives building starting at 7:00 p.m.
