Arthur Broady
Experience the positive messages of Dr. King’s Dream, the unique acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize, plus inspiring motivational messages on personal value and potential for success.
Arthur’s life experiences since the 1960’s have been the direct result of Dr. King’s iconic
“I Have a Dream” message. His education, professional work, and community service
has reflected Dr. King’s message for civil unity, equal justice, and brotherhood.
Since Arthur’s retirement in 2008, he has been active in many areas. Arthur is a
recognized spokesperson on the American Revolutionary War era with active
memberships with two Sons of The American Revolution organizations. Arthur connects
250 years of United States history with the more than 50 years of history since Dr.
King’s speech. Arthur is the sixth-generation grandson and descendent of the slave
John Broady, who earned his freedom in 1793, more than fifty years prior to our
country’s Civil War.
Arthur was born and raised in southwest Virginia…a hotbed of American Revolution
history. He graduated in 1970 from Emory & Henry University, located in Emory,
Virginia. He is recognized as the first Afro-American male to enroll at the university in
1966 as a full-time student and athlete in the university’s 230-year history.
Since graduating nearly 55 years ago, Arthur has been awarded the university’s
Distinguished Alumni Award, inducted into the university’s Sports Hall of Fame and
continues to hold a sports record achieved during his time as a collegiate football player.
Arthur also devoted eight years of voluntary service as a member of the university’s
Board of Trustees. In 2023 Arthur was awarded the university’s most prestigious
Humanitarian Service Award for his ten-year old international project supporting the
English education of children in rural Costa Rica.
Arthur is a Viet Nam Era Veteran and has been an exceptionally strong community
service advocate. He earned the Kiwanis International “Distinguished Club President”
honors and twice awarded the George F. Hixson Fellowship Award in recognition of his
service to children.
All of Arthur’s life experiences have assembled into a vast and deep passion for service
to others and uniquely qualifies him to inspire others to pursue their “Dream.”
