President Joe Biden called Bryan Stevenson of the Alabama-based eji_org “one of the most important civil rights leaders” in the country, adding that the attorney provided a “compelling foundation” for Biden to sign a law named after Emmett Till.
Stevenson was announced as a National Humanities Medal Recipient in 2021, but the ceremony was postponed to Tuesday because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Bryan does it all — challenges us to get proximity to the suffering and abandoned and the poor and the condemned so that as we search for the humanity in others, we find it within ourselves first,” the president said.
