Some celebrity star power is set to shine on the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Grammy-winning musician John Legend has joined the advisory board of the school's Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice.
Legend, who in addition to 10 Grammy awards also won Oscar for his song “Glory” that appeared in the 2014 film “Selma,” is no stranger to Penn or criminal justice reform—the Quattrone Center's focus. He received his undergraduate degree from the Philadelphia school in 1999 and also founded the #FREEAMERICA campaign with his business partner and manager Ty Stiklorius, who has an undergraduate and business degree from Penn. That campaign aims to end mass incarceration.
