The Frederick Douglass Awards Dinner is the Southern Center for Human Rights’ flagship gala to recognize and celebrate those who demonstrate exceptional courage and tenacity in defending human rights and equal justice. This gala allows us to illuminate allies who share our vision and commitment to a more just society. Proceeds from the Frederick Douglass Awards Dinner support SCHR’s work to protect the civil and human rights of people ensnared by the criminal legal system. This year, Kristen Clarke (former Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice) and Donald B. Verrilli, Jr. (partner at Munger, Tolles & Olson, and the founder of its Washington, D.C., office) will be honored.
