Media outlets report Rep. John Conyers donates papers to WSU

Pulling from his 24 terms he's served in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. John Conyers will donate a collection of his documents to Wayne State University. The university announced Thursday the Detroit Democrat will give the papers to the Damon J. Keith Law Collection of African American Legal History at WSU's law school. The collection includes documents that relate to Conyers' work in civil rights and social justice promotion. The school heralded Conyers as a "civil rights pioneer" and said the papers will be a resource for the public. The 40 years worth of papers will be available at the university's Reuther Library after they are processed. The Keith Collection focuses on collecting and preserving African-American legal history including paperwork from African-American lawyers, judges and lawmakers.
