The breakfast features engaging speeches, delicious food, live music, and is attended by a diverse gathering of civic, community, and religious leaders from across Massachusetts. The 2016 keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Ruth Simmons, education pioneer and president emerita of Brown University. Dr. Simmons was the first African American to serve as president of an Ivy League college and the first African-American women to head a major American university (Smith College).
