Emory University School of Law will establish an endowed chair in civil rights and social justice with a $1.5 million gift from an anonymous donor.
The school will name the professorship for U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia), who has represented much of Atlanta in Congress since 1987. He was a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which organized sit-ins and freedom rides across the South and played a pivotal role in the 1963 March on Washington, where Lewis delivered a speech.
