Established by the Faith & Politics Institute in the memory of the late Congressman John Robert Lewis, the John Robert Lewis Scholars and Fellows Program supports young leaders in studying the principles of nonviolence and developing nonpartisan frameworks for advancing social change. In addition to conducting an oral history project, recipients participate in cohort-based programming over the course of the year, including virtual conversations with policymakers and practitioners, an annual Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimage, and opening and closing convocations in Washington, D.C.
