Brother of President Richard M. Nixon to speak at DSU October 9


Ed Nixon

President Richard M. Nixon

Ed Nixon, brother of President Richard M. Nixon will be the keynote speaker of the 12th Annual Elliott-Nowell-White Science Symposium at 7:00 pm on Thursday, October 9 at the DSU Bologna Performing Arts Center. The event is free of charge and open to the public.

I am looking forward to my second trip this year to the Delta, says Nixon who visited the Delta this past summer. I was extremely impressed with the people there, the land, and the historic significance of that area of the country. It will be good to be back there so soon after my first trip. My wife, who has never been to the Delta, will be traveling with me.

Nixon's talk at the BPAC will be a reflection on the life and legacy of his brother and his brother's presidency. Nixon will also be showing several photos that have never been seen in public. For more information, call Dr. Ed Williams at 846-4240.
