We are excited to announce that our guest speaker for the 2025 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Luncheon is Nontombi Naomi Tutu. The daughter of 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Naomi Tutu has in recent years emerged from her father’s considerable shadow to gain recognition in her own right as a tireless fighter for human rights.

Eric H. Holder, Jr. made history in 2009 when President Obama appointed him as attorney
general, the first African American to hold that position. Holder served in the Obama
Administration as attorney general from February 2009 to April 2015, the third longest-
serving attorney general in U.S. history. During his tenure, he championed hallmark
legislation on voting rights, immigration law, national security, and same-sex marriage. Now,
Holder has continued his pursuit for civil rights in his post-White House career, serving as
Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee and using his unique
expertise in his role as a leading voting rights advocate.
