ABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER:
MR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, III
As the oldest son of the late 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. A graduate of his
father's Alma mater, Morehouse College, Mr. King has devoted his life
to working in the non-profit sector to promote civil rights and global
human rights and to eradicate the “triple evils” of racism,
militarism and poverty his father identified as the scourges of
humankind. As a high school student, he served as a Page to Senator
Edward Kennedy, and continued his public service, supporting social
change movements through speaking engagements, appearances and his
writing. He was later elected as a member of the Fulton County, GA
Board of Commissioners, representing over 700,000 residents.
