The Walter Kaitz Foundation has announced that the presenters for the Diversity Champion and Diversity Advocate Awards at this Wednesday’s annual fundraising dinner will be tennis superstar Serena Williams and international humanitarian Martin Luther King III.

• Presenting the 2007 Diversity Champion Award to ESPN will be Serena Williams, one of the world’s top tennis players and the winner of eight Grand Slams. Serena’s remarkable rise as a courageous and breakthrough athlete combined with her impact in the worlds of acting and fashion make her perfectly suited to introduce ESPN as this year’s Diversity Champion.
• Presenting the 2007 Diversity Advocate Award to U.S. Rep. Edolphus Towns will be Martin Luther King III, the second oldest child of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, and the founding president and chief executive officer of Realizing the Dream Inc., a national nonprofit organization that carries on the important work embodied in the legacies of his parents.

Both people embody the spirit and passion for diversity and achievement that are hallmarks of The Walter Kaitz Foundation.
