Home / 2021 – Tufts Commencement Coverage
Calling fear and anger the “essential ingredients of injustice,” Bryan Stevenson, the acclaimed civil rights advocate and lawyer, called on Tufts graduates to be the generation that creates “a new era of truth and justice.”
Delivering the keynote address at the 165th all-university commencement on May 23, a virtual event this year, Stevenson said the time has come to change the narrative of racial difference that has sustained and fueled indifference to inequality and injustice in the United States.
The acclaimed civil rights lawyer and advocate delivered the Commencement address and received an honorary doctorate at the virtual ceremony.
