For over 38 years, Steward Speakers has remained committed to its mission of informing, inspiring, and invoking action through meaningful dialogue and cultural exchange.

Steward Speakers' 2024 speaker season highlighted the impact and influence of sports and education in the African American community. Guest speakers Shannon Sharpe, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Jacqui McWilliams, and Deon "Coach Prime" Sanders highlighted the impact sports and education had on their lives, the importance of education, and the critical role families play in the success of their children.

Steward Speakers provides access to its unique speaker series to engage youth, families, adult learners and others who rarely have access to nationally and internationally-renowned African American leaders.

All of this is made possible through the generous support of sponsors like IUPUI, the Lilly Endowment, the Indianapolis Foundation, Wabash College, and the Indianapolis African American Quality of Life Initiative.
