In the News: Washington Leads John Lewis Fellows on a Human Rights Adventure

Georgia State University reported on the success of the 2017 John Lewis Fellowship program, which was lead by its own law professor Dr. Tanya Washington. Georgia State University was also the place of residence for the Fellows during their four weeks in Atlanta.

Bollinger, inspire higher order thinking and analysis.'”
