Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project

Giving Day is back, and CRRJ would like your support: https://givingday.northeastern.edu/s/fund-details?dc=GF1981-26

This year we have a special challenge!

***If 25 donors give to the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project Fund, Northeastern University School of Law's Sally Chalfant Wolf ’80 will give $10,000 to that same fund.***

Please help us reach this goal and support the continuation of our vital work.

NEWS: "This case reminds us of how much must still be done to map the lethality and legacy of Jim Crow terror." -- Northeastern University School of Law's Professor Margaret Burnham, CRRJ director & co-counsel to Mr. Smith.

CRRJ is proud of the hard work, determination and courage that we, the Innocence Project and the Dallas County DA's office -- along with Walker's relatives (including his only son, Edward, pictured below) and the Dallas County's Commissioners -- poured into securing this historic declaration of innocence and wrongful conviction in an ex*****on case.

Tommy Lee Walker Declared Innocent 70 Years After His Ex*****on Dallas County Commissioners Court posthumously proclaimed Mr. Walker’s innocence in the 1954 racially-fueled capital murder case.
