The Honorable Judge Penny Brown Reynolds Keynote Speaker
T
he Honorable Judge Penny Brown Reynolds draws on her legal and personal background to address the conflicts faced by families in America with her television show, “Family Court with Judge Penny.” The Emmy-nominated executive producer and television commentator, judge, author, entrepreneur, ordained minister, preacher, scholar and theologian provides a straightforward and relevant message. She is also considered to be one of America’s newest provocative intellectuals on issues including politics, justice, religion, women and children’s rights, as well as pop culture. A former prosecutor and Georgia assistant attorney general, Judge Reynolds made history as the first African American to serve as chief of staff and legal counsel to a Georgia lieutenant governor. Judge Reynolds also spent eight years as an Atlanta trial court judge. She has the distinction of never being reversed by an appellate court on any criminal decision – another first in Georgia. Judge Reynolds serves as president and CEO of Divine Destiny Productions, LLC. She also leads The Judge Penny Brown Reynolds Foundation, Inc., with the mission of restoring families in America. Her greatest accomplishment is her legacy of service through scholarships to college-bound high school students and her workshops for women and families. Following in the footsteps of such leaders as the Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery, her commitment to service includes a position on the executive board of the Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP, as well as the International Family Center, Inc. Judge Reynolds also is president emeritus of the Georgia Chapter of the International Women’s Forum.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery
Dr. Lowery is co-founder and chairman emeritus of the Black Leadership Forum, a consortium of national black advocacy organizations, and served as its third president, following Vernon Jordan and Benjamin Hooks. He served on the board of directors of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority for 23 years, and chairman for three years. Dr. Lowery led the historic Alabama-to-Washington pilgrimage (1982) to free Maggie Bozeman and Julia Wilder, who were falsely convicted of voter fraud. In Birmingham, he served as president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, which spearheaded the hiring of Birmingham’s first black police officers. Dr. Lowery served as pastor of United Methodist Churches in Mobile and Birmingham, and Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta where he served for 18 years. He also served as pastor of Cascade United Methodist Church from 1986-92. Since retiring from the SCLC in January 1998, he has helped black farmers secure a $2 billion decree against the Department of Agriculture for discrimination. Dr. Lowery has also assisted AfricanAmerican auto dealers seeking redress from discrimination against auto manufacturers and supported African-American concert promoters in their fight against exclusionary policies of talent agencies. A native of Alabama, Dr. Lowery is the son of a storekeeper and a teacher. He received his primary education in his hometown of Huntsville, and later studied at Alabama A&M University, Knoxville College, Paine College, Payne Theological Seminary, and Chicago Ecumenical Institute. He holds bachelor of arts, bachelor of divinity, doctor of divinity and doctor of laws degrees. Dr. Lowery is married to Evelyn Gibson Lowery, an activist in her own right, and founder of SCLC/W.O.M.E.N. He is the father of five children. As part of Dr. Lowery’s 80th birthday celebration on Oct. 6, 2001 – Clark Atlanta University announced the establishment of the Joseph E. Lowery Institute for Justice & Human Rights. In addition, the Atlanta Board of Education instituted the Joseph E. Lowery Lecture Series on Civic Participation, and the Atlanta City Council voted to change the name of Ashby Street to Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard.

the Alabama Civic Affairs Association, which led the movement for the desegregation of buses and public accommodations. While in Mobile, his property was seized by the Alabama courts in an historic libel suit: Sullivan v. NY Times, Abernathy, Lowery, Shuttlesworth, & Seay. The U.S. Supreme Court vindicated the ministers in a landmark ruling on libel. Dr. Lowery was co-founder with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957; served as vice president (1957-67); chairman of the board (1967-77); and as president and chief executive officer from Feb. 1977-Jan.15, 1998. As president of the SCLC, Dr. Lowery negotiated covenants with major corporations for employment advances and business contracts with minority companies.

the Selma-to-Montgomery March (1965) to Alabama Gov. George Wallace. Wallace had ordered the marchers beaten (“Bloody Sunday”), but apologized to Dr. Lowery in 1995 as he led the 30th anniversary re-enactment of the historic march, which led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Dr. Lowery was among the first five persons arrested at the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C., during the “Free South Africa” campaign (1984). He co-chaired the Nelson Mandela visit to Atlanta in 1990 following his release from prison, and awarded Mandela the SCLC/Martin Luther King, Jr. Human Rights Award. Dr. Lowery was the keynote speaker at the African Renaissance Dinner in Durban, South Africa in 1998 honoring Mandela’s retirement. He also led a peace delegation to the Middle East and met with the president of Lebanon and Yasser Arafat to seek justice in the Middle East through non-violent means. Additionally, Dr. Lowery led protests against the dumping of toxic waste in Warren County, N.C., and was arrested twice in this campaign, which gave birth to the environmental justice movement.
Judge Reynolds graduated cum laude with a bachelor of science degree from Georgia State University after only three years of study, graduating in the top 5 percent of her class. Upon obtaining her law degree from Georgia State University, she was recognized with an Outstanding Student Award, the university’s highest honor. In addition, Judge Reynolds also received a master’s degree in theology, earning a perfect 4.0 from the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, where she graduated first in her class. Judge Reynolds is founding chair of the judicial section of the Gate City Bar Association, an affiliate of the National Bar Association. Not only does Judge Reynolds wear a judicial robe on the bench, she proudly wears a robe representing the clergy as associate pastor with her husband, the Rev. Edward S. Reynolds, pastor of Midway Missionary Baptist Church, in College Park. They are the proud parents of two grown sons, Michael and Fela; a daughter-in-law, Risa; and granddaughter Pelly Marie.
