It's the first law school in the country named after a practicing Black attorney.
The law school at Saint Thomas University in Florida is now named for civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump.
"We will never forget this moment, this historic moment for Black history, for American history," Crump said during the dedication ceremony. The families of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and most recently, Tyre Nichols, have turned to him for legal guidance and support.
