Clark Atlanta University will celebrate its Founders Week March 16-21, with events featuring former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Rainbow PUSH founder Jesse Jackson.

Rice, currently a political economy professor at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, will deliver the Founders Day convocation address on Thursday. Jackson will lead Clark Atlanta’s remembrance of the “Bloody Sunday” march with an address on Friday in the university’s Henderson Student Center.

In addition to Rice and Jackson, poet and lecturer Sonia Sanchez will dedicate a “peace bench” at the university on Thursday in the Freshman Quadrangle. Other events include a performance of “Hitzville: The Show,” the Las Vegas-based revue of Motown songs.

All Founders Week events are free and open to the public.
