A $50,000 donation has established an endowed scholarship at Wayne State University Law School in honor of U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr., D-Mich. The gift was presented to Wayne Law Dean Jocelyn Benson on Sept. 29 at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit during an event paying tribute to Conyers and his nearly 50 years representing the Detroit area in Congress. Benson noted the scholarship is another way that Conyers' legacy is being honored at Wayne Law. In 2012, the congressman announced that Wayne Law's Damon J. Keith Collection of African American Legal History will be the beneficiary of the papers and records of his decades in Congress.
