With humble hearts, leadership at Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law graciously accepted the desk used by the late defense attorney Alexander Akerman, Jr., who fought against racism, prejudice, and hatred in the 1940s and 1950s. The historic desk is a gift from the Apopka Historical Society.
FAMU Law hosted a program on Thursday, February 15, where the desk was unveiled to students, faculty, staff, community partners and friends of both the Apopka Historical Society and FAMU Law.
