The Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter,
hosted its “2024 Wade H. McCree Jr. Luncheon for the Advancement of
Social Justice” earlier this month at the Detroit Athletic Club.
Stephani LaBelle (center), director of Project Clean Slate, was this
year’s recipient of the Wade H. McCree Jr. Award for the Advancement of
Social Justice. Project Clean Slate is a City of Detroit initiative that
helps residents expunge criminal convictions and improve access to
better employment, housing, and educational opportunities. Among those
on hand to congratulate LaBelle at the luncheon were (left to right) FBA
President George Donnini of Butzel Long, LaBelle’s daughters Anna and
Nora, and keynote speaker Charles B. Dew, Ephraim Williams Professor of
American History, Emeritus, at Williams College. Dew’s teaching at
Williams focused on the American South, the era of the Civil War and
Reconstruction, and the institution of slavery. His most recent book is
“The Making of a Racist: A Southerner Reflects on Family, History, and
the Slave Trade.”
