Sue Levering’s Legacy Continues with the Creation of a Social Justice Scholarship in Her Name
News, Press Release
Susan Dworkin Levering, an activist, feminist and global citizen who helped change the world for the better, passed away on October 13, 2010, after a life of political activism. To honor the memory of his late wife, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs Dr. Les Baltimore created the Sue Levering Social Justice Award for Levermore Global Scholars (LGS) who are active and informed global citizens. The first award recipients are Adelphi University students with a passion for social change and service: Janae Cummings ’13 and Ammie Lin ’14.
Ms. Levering organized demonstrations and civil disobedience projects to oppose the war in Vietnam, supported the anti-apartheid and anti-colonial movements in South Africa and Zimbabwe respectively, and had a law practice on Long Island. She generously devoted her time to her clients while fighting against racial discrimination and for better services for the disabled in her school district. Sue Levering’s life exemplified the idea of the committed citizen. Her legacy will be those who continue the work to make the world a more just, humane, and peaceful place that defined her life and this can already be seen in the two recipients of this scholarship.
