The Founders Day Breakfast honors Norfolk State’s legacy of vision and perseverance with a keynote from Martin Luther King III, a lifelong advocate for justice and the eldest son of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King. His presence connects the University’s history of empowerment and progress with the enduring call for equality, unity, and hope. As Spartans reflect on 90 years of growth, his voice carries forward a timeless charge to lead with courage, compassion, and purpose.
