Spelman College Honors Rep. John Lewis With Scholarship Fund For Social Justice Fellows

Spelman College is launching a scholarship fund to honor the life and legacy of the late Rep. John Lewis. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution , the fund will award five Social Justice Fellows a one-time amount of $10,000. Moreover, the scholarship will be awarded every year, says Spelman College President Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D. “Spelman College intends to name an endowed scholarship after Congressman Lewis to celebrate his life,” Campbell said in a statement. “We believe that the best way to honor Congressman Lewis is to lift up those who are carrying out his work.” John Lewis loved Black people unconditionally and he loved justice just as much. The world has lost a valiant social justice warrior.
