Photograph of Donald and Louise Hollowell standing next to the Donald L. Hollowell Parkway in Atlanta, Georgia. They both wear dress suits, and Mr. Hollowell wears a hat. A road sign naming the highway stands behind them. The road stretches toward the horizon. The former Bankhead Highway was renamed in 1998. As one of a handful of black lawyers practicing civil rights law in the 1950s and 1960s, Donald Hollowell was instrumental in the movement to desegregate public institutions throughout Georgia. During his long career Hollowell provided counsel to student activists during the Atlanta sit-ins, defended Martin Luther King Jr. and other demonstrators during the Albany Movement, and successfully litigated the landmark case integrating the University of Georgia. - Metadata URL:
