Damon Keith Center for Civil Rights grand opening

Wayne State University's Law School today is set to celebrate the grand opening of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights. The Keith Center honors the life and legacy of Keith, a federal judge, civil rights figure and 1956 Wayne Law alumnus. "Part of the new building is a permanent version of our 'Marching Toward Justice' exhibit telling the story of the 14th Amendment, and it's been designed to be a public destination site," professor Peter Hammer told WWJ Newsradio 950. The two-story, 10,000-square-foot building features classrooms, conference rooms, student organization space and a lecture hall.
