Our theme for 2024 is "Dr. King's Legacy Today: A Discussion with NYT Bestselling Author, Nic Stone." Our 2024 breakfast celebration will begin at 8 a.m. on Monday, January 15, 2024.
Nic Stone is a bestselling author and an outspoken racial and social justice advocate. Stone burst onto the scene with her #1 New York Times bestselling debut novel, Dear Martin, which chronicles the story of a seventeen-year-old Black high school senior, Justyce McAllister, after a bloody run-in with the police places him squarely in the crosshairs of media fallout. Seeking meaning in the events that follow and grappling with racism—and what it means for his future—Justyce writes a series of letters to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Of this fictional narrative inspired by everyday encounters for young Black Americans, author Jason Reynolds certifies Dear Martin is “raw and gripping.”
Alston & Fouse Award winners will also be announced. Learn more about Leadership Westerville on our website.
