Emory Chair Darren Hutchinson on the goals of the Center for Civil Rights and Social Justice

Professor Darren Hutchinson was recently named the inaugural chair of Emory Law’s Center for Civil Rights and Social Justice.

On Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” he told program host Rose Scott his life’s work in social justice is directly linked to his upbringing in the deep south.

The legal scholar says he was raised by parents who were committed to social justice, and at an early age, he remembers reading about the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
