Will Smith Was All Smiles as He Helped Raise $10 Million for Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump’s College of Law

Will Smith just showed his backing for Ben Crump’s law school by helping raise
donations for it. Crump was honored not only to start his school but to get big
support from other influential icons for his cause. The attorney recently had a
star-studded dedication ceremony and received support with a whopping amount.



A dedication ceremony is where the head of the school gives a speech before
making the institution available to the public. Will Smith decided to surprise
and crash the event to show his support for the honorable attorney.


WILL SMITH IS PROUD AS HE SHOWS HIS GENEROUS SUPPORT TO BEN CRUMP’S NEW SCHOOL

The King Richard actor was all smiles as he helped raise $10 million for Ben
Crump’s college recently. As per TMZ
[https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/11/ben-crump-will-smith-george-clinton-celebs-raise-10-m-law-school/],
St. Thomas University for Law in Miami changed its name to Benjamin L. Crump
College of Law. Musicians George Clinton and Bishop T.D. Jakes also helped to
raise money for the cause. It would allow more black students to have access to
legal education. Smith is said to have also donated an undisclosed amount to the
cause. 



The 54-year-old even went on to the stage during the ceremony to express how
proud he was to be there. “We’re so grateful to everybody who donated to this
mission,” said Crump when thanking everyone for the donations. The name change
happened in order to build bridges between races and honor the attorney for his
work. It makes him the first black attorney to receive an honor at this level.

But what led Crump to receive an honor of this level? It is a result of his
civil activism to help people and defend people of the black community against
atrocities.
