Jonathan Eig connects Martin Luther King Jr.’s radical demand for racial and economic justice directly to today’s most urgent workplace conversations

DEI Speaker

“[King is] infused with the narrative energy of a thriller . . . The most compelling account of King’s life in a generation.”

— Mark Whitaker, The Washington Post

Foster meaningful conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion with an impactful and insightful presentation. This talk helps organizations and communities better understand systemic challenges while encouraging empathy, awareness, and positive change.

King's Work Is Not Finished

Decades after the civil rights movement, the racial and economic gaps King fought to close remain. Jonathan’s presentation doesn’t just honor the past — it challenges every audience member to ask what role they play in finishing what King started. That is what real DEI looks like.
