UGA to screen documentary on civil rights lawyer
Legal News Center
The University of Georgia is hosting a screening of a documentary about the lawyer who helped the first two black students gain admission in the early 1960s.
"Donald L. Hollowell: Foot Soldier for Equal Justice" will premiere Jan. 10 at 8 p.m. in Masters Hall at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education Conference Center and Hotel. Hollowell was lead counsel in the landmark case that saw Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton Holmes become students at UGA five decades ago.
The documentary was produced by two UGA faculty members and administrators. It is narrated by Hunter-Gault, who graduated from UGA in 1963 and went on to become an award-winning journalist.
The screening is one of the opening events for UGA's celebration honoring the 50th anniversary of the desegregation of the campus.
