The 30th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unity Breakfast on Friday, January 22, 2027 will take the VanDyk Mortgage Convention Center, in downtown Muskegon. The event will feature a panel discussion on local unity efforts following the keynote address. As our keynote speaker we are extremely excited to present Marc H. Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League.
Marc H. Morial, one of the few national leaders to possess both “street smarts” and “boardroom savvy,” is the transformative President and CEO of the National Urban League, the nation’s largest historic civil rights and urban advocacy organization.
He served as the highly successful and popular mayor of New Orleans, as well as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Marc previously served as a Louisiana state senator and practiced law in New Orleans, where he maintained an active, high-profile practice.
He is a leading voice on the national stage in the fight for jobs, education, housing, health, voting rights, equity and entrepreneurship.
Marc is a published author. His leadership book, Gumbo Coalition: 10 Leadership Lessons That Help You Inspire, Unite, and Achieve, has been widely acclaimed. His column, To Be Equal, reaches hundreds of thousands of readers.
He is also the host of the weekly syndicated television show America’s Black Forum.
A graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned degrees in economics and African American studies, Marc has been recognized as one of the 100 Most Influential Black Americans by Ebony magazine, one of the Top 50 Nonprofit Leaders by The NonProfit Times and one of the 100 Most Influential Black Lawyers in America. He has also been inducted into the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame in Atlanta.
Marc and his father, the late Ernest “Dutch” Morial, made history as the first African American father-son mayors in the United States. Their story was even featured as a question on the legendary television game show Jeopardy! in the 1990s.
