Miracle Bird has been selected in the fourth cohort of the Marshall-Motley Scholars Program (MMSP), a scholarship launched from a $40 million donation. The program is named in honor of legendary civil rights attorney, Supreme Court Justice and LDF founder Thurgood Marshall, and iconic civil rights litigator Constance Baker Motley.
MMSP is creating the next generation of civil rights lawyers in the South, who are trained to provide legal advocacy.
Bird, a graduate of Southeast Missouri State University, says she plans to “build a future where discriminatory actions that keep Black Americans out of positions, roles, and institutions that they deserve to be in are no more.”
