“I have tried to advance the baton of justice handed to me by my forebearers who were much more surefooted and fearless than me in answering The Call.
With the distance yet to travel to bring justice to all Americans, I implore others to accept the baton and continue the race.”
THE NATHANIEL R. JONES FOUNDATION empowers a new generation of lawyers, advocates, and activists to answer "The Call” to make equal justice under the law a reality.
The Foundation honors and advances the life work of the late Honorable Nathaniel R. Jones, Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals judge, former NAACP general counsel, and lifelong champion in the fight to end racial discrimination in America.
