The Bruce Wright Literacy Award was created by the Board of Directors to honor individuals and organizations who exemplify the same passion and dedication to literacy and education as the late New York Supreme Court Justice Bruce Wright – an African-American judge, lawyer, poet, and long-time supporter of the Clinic.
