Barbara R. Arnwine, President and Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition, is internationally renowned for her contributions to critical justice issues, including the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1991 and the 2006 reauthorization of provisions of the Voting Rights Act. A staunch advocate for voting rights, she also serves as Co-Chair and Facilitator of the National Commission for Voter Justice, the Millennial Votes Matters Convenings, and The Voting Rights Alliance. In 2011 Ms. Arnwine created the legendary Voting Rights “Map of Shame”, which exposed the new modern wave of voter suppression proposals and legislation across the United States.
Ms. Arnwine’s groundbreaking civil rights and human rights advocacy has been honored with many prestigious awards, including Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights’ Hubert H. Humphrey Civil and Human Rights Award and the prestigious Gruber International Justice Prize for her excellence in defending and promoting civil rights and gender equality throughout the United States.
Thank you, Ms. Arnwine, for your commitment to protecting civil rights and fighting for voting access!

Fred David Gray is a pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement and a native of Montgomery, AL. The civil rights cases that Mr. Gray has won have transformed this country and are in most constitutional law textbooks. They include, but are not limited to Browder v. Gayle (1956), challenging the constitutionality of Alabama state laws mandating segregation on buses and ultimately led to the Supreme Court to order integrated buses in Montgomery; Mitchell v. Johnson (1966), one of the first civil actions brought to remedy systemic exclusion of blacks from the civil jury pool; and Lee v. Macon County Board of Education (1967), where Mr. Gray obtained a trial order that desegregated all Alabama Public Schools. In 1965 after Williams v. Wallace, the court ordered Alabama Governor George Wallace and the State of Alabama to protect marchers as they walked from Selma to Montgomery to present grievances as a result of being unable to vote. The publicity of these actions led to the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
On July 7, 2022, Fred Gray was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Joseph Biden.
Thank you Fred Gray for taking a stand and making it your mission to “stamp out discrimination!”
