13TH ANNUAL HUFFMAN DISTINGUISHED LECTURE

February 11, 2022

Former U.S. Senator Doug Jones was the featured speaker at the Texas Tech Law Review 13th Annual Distinguished Huffman Lecture Series. Sen. Jones reflected on the life of Alabama lawyer Charles Morgan Jr., the speech he made after the Birmingham church bombing on September 15, 1963, and the ways in which the speech changed Morgan’s life. He reminded students that advocating for justice, as Charles did, often requires great courage.

Texas Tech Law Review initiated the Huffman Distinguished Lecture Series in 2010 to honor Walter B. Huffman, dean emeritus of the Law School, past editor-in-chief of the Texas Tech Law Review, and a retired major general of the U.S. Army.
