We are proud to announce Brandon P.

Fleming as a 2026 Honoree of the 100 Honors Gala and recipient of the John Lewis Emerging Leader Award. An educator, entrepreneur, author, and transformational speaker, Brandon is the Founder & CEO of The Veritas Schools, with campuses in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. His journey from adversity to becoming a Harvard debate coach and nationally recognized education leader has made him a powerful example of what can happen when talent is identified, nurtured, and given the opportunity to thrive. Brandon gained national attention after preparing students from primarily under-resourced Atlanta schools to compete—and win—at the Harvard Debate Council Summer Workshops. His work has since expanded into a broader mission of developing young people, building high-performance cultures, and creating pathways to some of the nation’s leading colleges and universities. His accomplishments include recognition as a Forbes 30 Under 30 Honoree, Georgia Trend 40 Under 40 Honoree, Atlanta Business Chronicle 40 Under 40 Honoree, and one of The Root 100 Most Influential African Americans. Educating Opportunity • Empowering Young People • Transforming Tomorrow Join us as we celebrate Brandon Fleming and a new generation of leaders carrying forward the spirit of Congressman John Lewis through service, courage, and impact.
