The keynote speaker for this year's luncheon is Nontombi Naomi Tutu, the daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. As we gather to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we are honored to have someone with her background as an educator and activist for human rights.
We have successfully organized an annual luncheon in honor of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and this year will be our 34th luncheon. Our speakers have included Dr. Maya Angelou, James Earl Jones, Martin Luther King III, Ambassador Andrew Young, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte, Condoleezza Rice and Patti LaBelle. Our goal in organizing the luncheon was to have an event that would bring the Peoria area together to fellowship and celebrate the life and work of Dr. King.
