Austin Channing Brown C’06 visited North Park last January to discuss racial and social injustices in a Catalyst on Campus event that honored the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“America must change,” Channing Brown said, promising she would be a “dedicated fighter for justice.”

The author of I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness, quoted from several of King’s essays, focusing on his message of integration, peace, and unity. Afterward, students were invited to ask questions and participate in a discussion.

Channing Brown lauded North Park’s Chicago location, the faith-based education she received here, and the close friendships she made.

“I found my people here at North Park,” she said.
