Conversations That Inspire Leadership
The Legacy Lecture Series connects students and communities with accomplished leaders whose experiences provide insight, inspiration, and practical wisdom for the next generation.
About the Legacy Lecture Series
The Legacy Lecture Series brings nationally recognized leaders directly to HBCU campuses, connecting students with accomplished alumni, executives, entrepreneurs, civil rights leaders, and changemakers whose journeys demonstrate the transformative power of an HBCU education.
The series has reached campuses across the country through partnerships with HBCU leadership and corporate sponsors, creating meaningful conversations that inspire students to lead with purpose, expand their networks, and envision what’s possible.
Featured speakers have included Susan L. Taylor, Dr. Bernice A. King, Ambassador Andrew Young, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Hill Harper, Rev. C.T. Vivian, and Jeff Johnson (“Uncle Jeff”)—leaders whose influence spans business, media, public service, education, entrepreneurship, and the Civil Rights Movement.
