At Tougaloo, Crenshaw is a first-generation college student who is majoring in Political Science with a Pre-Law and Public Policy Administration minor. His work spans from grassroots organizing to policy advocacy, and he’s had the honor of learning from some of the nation’s top legal minds as a Stanford Law School Summer Scholar.
On his LinkedIn profile, Crenshaw states that his passion “lies at the intersection of law, policy and justice—particularly dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline and building safer, more equitable communities for Black and Brown youth.
“Whether I’m hosting a firearm safety forum, leading voter engagement efforts, or collaborating with fellow student leaders,” Crenshaw writes, “I approach every opportunity with purpose and a commitment to impact.”
