Reston Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Keynote Address and Community Lunch
Bakari Sellers made history in 2006 when, at just 22 years old, he became the youngest member of the South Carolina state legislature and the youngest African American elected official in the nation. Sellers is widely considered a rising and leading voice for his generation. That, coupled with his uncommon ability to reach across the aisle and get things done, has led to numerous accolades, including being named to TIME magazine’s “40 Under 40” in 2010, as well as to the 2014 and 2015 “The Root 100” list of the nation’s most influential African Americans.
