The National Center for Civil and Human Rights has named Jill Savitt as its CEO – succeeding Brian Tolleson, who has been serving as the interim CEO for nearly a year. Tolleson will return to serving on the center’s board once Savitt begins her new role on March 11.
Savitt is no stranger to the center.
The Power to Inspire fundraising for the Center for Civil and Human Rights Thursday night bridged the nonviolent student movement of the 1960s with the anti-gun violence student moved of today.
Three of the student leaders from Parkland, Fla. joined members of the Atlanta March for our Lives student leaders to tour the Center before the gala dinner.
