The new scholarship program is in part named after the late Constance Baker Motley, seen here in 2004, who was the first Black woman federal judge.

The scholarship program, sponsored by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, intends to support the next generation of civil rights advocates working in the South.
