Israel Club’s Diversity Day program.  Elected in 2006 at the age of 22, Sellers is the youngest black elected official in the United States. He spoke passionately about civil rights, equality, education, and most importantly, his love for Israel, where he recently traveled.  He will be speaking at the AIPAC policy conference in March.
