We are pleased to announce that on October 29, the Wabash Conservative Union will host Mr. Joseph C. Phillips for a public lecture on his memoirs entitled “He Talk Like a White Boy.”

Well-known for his role as Martin Kendall on the hit television series, The Cosby Show, Phillips has also had a long career in the political arena. He is the author of a weekly syndicated column and has served as a political commentator on various different television forums. In 2004, Mr. Phillips was the national Co-Chair of the African American Steering Committee for the Bush/Cheney campaign. He has been named a member of the African American Advisory Board by the Republican National Committee and appointed to the state board of directors of the California African American Museum by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

More details on his visit will be forthcoming.
