Martin Luther King III will speak at Syracuse University MLK observance January 30
The oldest son of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be the featured speaker at the Syracuse University MLK celebration.
Syracuse.com reports Martin Luther King III, a civil rights activist, global humanitarian and political leader, will speak as part of the 37th annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration on January 30. SU officials say the observance is the largest on any college campus.
This year's theme is: "We Are Part of the Dream." "As the eldest son of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King III serves as an ambassador of his parent's legacy of nonviolent social change," officials said. "We are overjoyed to welcome Martin Luther King III as our featured speaker," said the Rev. Brian Konkol, dean of Hendricks Chapel. "As we seek to honor the life and legacy of a leader who brought hope and healing to our world, the opportunity to feature Martin Luther King III is an exciting and historic opportunity, and his presence and participation will surely have a longstanding and powerful impact for our campus community."
Registration for the virtual event is open to the public here.

HISTORIC HOMES.
Hidden by century-old oak, cork, and English elm trees there are in Parramatta some of the oldest and most beautiful homes in Australia.

Parramatta's Buildings.
(BY E.S.W.)
Hidden by century-old oak, cork, and Eng-
lish elm trees there are in Parramatta some
of the oldest and most beautiful homes in
Redolent with the history of New South
Wales and abounding in romance these old
colonial homes, some of them convict-built.
Provide inexhaustible interest for the person
interested in our old buildings.
Although the plumbing in the majority of
them is anything but modern, and the kitchens
are far from convenient, they are built of
freestone and of convict-made bricks, and are
cool, and most of them contain a small fortune
in cedar fittings and furniture.
Best known of all is Elizabeth Farm House
at Rosehill, the oldest house in Australia,
which is overshadowed by an olive tree planted
by Mrs. Macarthur over 125 years ago. The
house was built by John Macarthur in 1793,
and the present owner, Mrs. Swann, jealously
guards it against vandals. Her husband saved
it from the demolishers some 20 years ago.
In George-street is Brislington, which was
built 120 years ago, and has sheltered three
generations of Dr. Browns. Dr. Walter Brown
and his son. Dr. Keith Brown, still practise
in the old building, which dates from 1820.
Romance is associated with the building, for
on its northern wall there are patterned in brick
six diamonds. It is said that the builder
won the land upon which the building stands,
and a sum of money at a game of cards. The
winning card was the six of diamonds.
Firholme, in Hassall-street, overshadowed
by a giant oak tree planted to celebrate
the news of the English victory at the Battle
of Waterloo, was built to the order of John
Macarthur also. A cork tree in its grounds
was planted in 1810, and the building, which
is of sandstone, is well preserved, and its wide
verandahs and low ceilinged rooms, three times
the size of the rooms of the modern house,
are always cool.
In Macquarie-street is a ninety-two year old
building which provides a link with John Bat-
man, founder of Melbourne, who was born
on the spot. The property upon which the
house is situated was originally granted to
John Batman's father. He sold it to Mr.
James Houison, who built the fine old colonial
home there which still stands. Batman was
born in a smaller building at the rear of the
present structure, and Melbourne residents
interested in Batman's history regard the
building as somewhat of a shrine.
James Houison erected many buildings in
Parramatta, including a freestone building in
New Zealand-street, in which his descendants
lived for nearly ninety years. It was sold
recently after many had fallen in love with
the wealth of rambling roses, ivy, and other
English plants which surround it.
Blair Athol, another old home which was
recently demolished to make way for a girls'
school, is associated with the Rev. Samuel
Marsden. Two accounts of its history are
given. One is that it was built by Samuel
Marsden in 1835 for his wife, who, however,
did not live to see it completed. The other
is that it was built by James Houison for a
brewer named Harvey, who purchased the
land from Marsden. Records in the posses-
sion of Mr. W. Fairclough, a grandson of Mr.
Houison, show that, in the forties of last
century, stonemasons and bricklayers received
only 5/ per day in wages.
Another picturesque old structure, now fall-
ing into decay, is the old inn, once known as
the Fox-Under-the-Hlll. It is a well-known
landmark, and is situated on the northern
side of the Great Western-road, near Pros-
pect. The present building dates from the
thirties, and it was erected in place of an
older structure which was once the hiding
place of the early bushranger. Donohue. The
present building was a stopping place for stage
coaches, and in the days of the gold rushes
was usually thronged with travelling patrons.

Fox-Under-the-Hill Inn appear on the illus-
tration page.
