No ... Omarosa?

The headline Events Honor Martin Luther King Jr. would ordinarily seem perfectly appropriate for this sort of article, but it seemed a little less so once I stumbled across this part...

Indiana University of Pennsylvania's African-American Cultural Center is promoting a daylong program to honor Martin Luther King Jr., including a commemorative address by Omarosa Manigault Stallworth from NBC's "The Apprentice."

I understand that it must be something of a challenge to fill a daylong program, but it's not as if they have to try to attract people to speak about someone who is generally regarded as pretty unlikeable and unethical ... someone like, say, Omarosa. She's giving a commemorative address? Are they just desperate to attract media attention and they think Omarosa is an easy way to do it? If so, that's a sad trick to pull when they're supposed to be honouring Martin Luther King Jr., isn't it? If they are genuinely interested in Omarosa's thoughts about Martin Luther King Jr. (or, for that matter anyone or anything else), why?
