Tuskegee University President Brian Johnson will speak at the University's annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Breakfast.
Johnson, the seventh president of Tuskegee University, received his bachelor's degree from Johnson C. Smith University in 1995, his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998 and his doctorate from the University of South Carolina at Columbia in 2003, according to a University press release.
