Due to a scheduling conflict in Washington, U.S. Rep. Marcia L. Fudge of Cleveland will not be the featured speaker at the Martin Luther King Jr. Diversity Breakfast 8:30 a.m. Thursday, in the Chestnut Room of Kilcawley Center at Youngstown State University.

Gwendolyn E. Boyd, national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., the nation’s largest black sorority, is now the featured speaker. Boyd, who earned a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Yale University, is the executive assistant to the chief of staff at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
