Affectionately known as the "101st Senator" of the United States of America, Clarence Mitchell, Jr. was an effective proponent of civil rights. A shrewd political strategist and an artful orator and parliamentarian. His contributions to the state and the nation are living testaments of his unqualified commitment to social justice. As Director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Washington bureau for 30 years, he devoted his energies to the passage of civil rights legislation. As a member of the University's board of regents, he worked to eradicate all vestiges of discrimination and injustice from the state's educational institutions. As a citizen of the world, he stood for decency, wisdom and courage and was awarded the U.S. Medal of Freedom in 1980 for his distinguished work on behalf of all people.| HM Number | HMFGF |
