Remembering The 9/11 Attacks 20 Years Later

Every year on September 11th, Americans across the nation pause to reflect and remember the 2,753 lives lost on that day.

Perspective: King University’s Chair of Criminal Justice On Black Lives Matter

Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Chair of the Criminal Justice Department at King University. I am also the faculty advisor to the Black Student Union. Seems a little contradictory doesn’t it?

We are in the middle of the worst health crisis in over 100 years. The entire world has been impacted and deaths due to the coronavirus pandemic continue to rise. King students, faculty and staff left campus and our facilities are being cleaned and locked down. Our administration has acted responsibly and are doing all they can to protect us when we return. But as of this writing, we don’t know when that will be.
