KIMBROUGH SCHOLARS PROGRAM: The state of race relations in the United States has captivated the
country for months. But a group of Northeastern University law students is looking to the past to a sometimes
forgotten, violent part of American history. The Civil Rights Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern
University is working to document every racially motivated killing in the American South between 1930 and
1970. So far, they’ve documented about 350 cases. Most of the crimes received little attention when they were
committed, and often, even the family members of the victims don’t know how their relatives died. Last winter
and early spring, the first group of Kimbrough Scholars, four seniors and a junior, participated in an intense
collaboration between a CRLS-based Civil Rights history seminar, facilitated largely by members of the
Kimbrough Memorial Committee, and Northeastern University Law School’s Civil Rights and Restorative
Justice Project (CRRJ).
What people are saying about One Drop of Love
“One Drop of Love” is beautiful and brave. Cox DiGiovanni’s honesty, insight, dedication, and love
are an inspiration. She takes us into the intimate places where family, race, love, and pain intertwine.
In this sometimes searing, sometimes funny, and always smart play she shows us both the terrible
things we do to those we love and a way forward to a better future.
– Paul Spickard, professor of history at University of California, Santa Barbara
