Richard Bowden served as a police officer for the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, he was involved with infiltrating illegal drug rings, and he served as a U.S. Marshal.  It was in that capacity that he drove the car in which Martin Luther King, Jr. rode to the March on Washington in 1963.  He is the keynote speaker at Thursday evening's Unsung Heroes Program at UAFS.
