Diversity Works: A Newsletter from the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs
Spring 2009 -- Volume 1 Issue 1       [ Return to Table of Contents ]

The guiding beliefs of President Obama derive from the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and of Mahatma Gandhi in that each of us has a responsibility to be an agent of the change that we want to see in the world. My personal take away from that cold day in January was that we can and we did, but that was just the beginning. The foundation for change has been laid, but each one of us that may have gathered on the mall, watched on television or streaming video, listened on the radio, or otherwise vicariously joined in the moment must continue to do our part in sustaining the belief of hope and the will of spirit to help make this nation and this world a better place for all.

Edwin C. Marshall, "Reflections of the Inauguration of President Obama"

Vice President Marshall has written about his experience attending the inauguration of President Obama. His column appeared in the Bloomington Herald-Times (January 25, 2009) and in other publications. Read his Reflections of the Inauguration of President Obama.

Vice President Marshall was among the 17 Men of Distinction selected from across the state by the Indiana Minority Business Magazine (Fourth Quarter 2008), and he appeared with IU and community leaders to discuss Indiana and the Inauguration on WFIU's Noon Edition.
