ON THE
COVER:
Dean A.A. Lenoir
envisioned that Southern law graduates would
join and be at the forefront in the battle
for civil rights and equal justice. His hope
was that through their legal acumen and
leadership the world would be changed for
the better. The legal giants of this
institution--past and present--have been and
are doing just that.
Through association with
civil rights organizations as cooperating
counsel in landmark cases and with political
and governmental affiliations helping to set
new policies and services, SULC alumni have
made a tremendous impact for change.
As we review the lives of
recent stalwarts who pass the torch this
year to a new generations of leaders, SULC—A
Legacy of Legal Giants helps to affirm the
matra, "Yes, we can."
