Steve Miller

Steve Miller is Founder & CEO of the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO), a nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving racial equality and reconciliation. He is an Ashoka Fellow, recognized as one of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs. Miller began advancing rights and responsibilities in Texas in 2009, with his efforts resulting in Federal civil rights investigations by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and the United States Department of Justice’s Community Services Division. His work has brought increased equity to hiring processes, expanded job opportunities, and greater understanding of institutional bias in the educational system and has won legal actions at the Federal court level. Miller offers service and leadership to the HBCU Truth & Reconciliation Oral History Project, documenting and archiving the racial experiences of African Americans. He leverages the power of students and scholars of color, as well as the leading institutions in African American society, such as Historically Black Colleges & Universities and the Black Church, to recreate conditions that led to the successful U.S. Civil Rights Movement. Before becoming a social impact leader, Miller was a corporate banker specializing in large real estate syndications. He holds an MBA from Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School as well as a Masters of Divinity from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
