Lloyd Pierce reacts to being named to Lowery Institute Board of Directors

Lloyd Pierce has another title to add to his growing list of responsibilities.

The Joseph & Evelyn Lowery Institute for Justice & Human Rights named the Atlanta Hawks head coach to its board of directors Tuesday, which would’ve been the late Rev. Joseph E. Lowery’s 99th birthday.

“I am honored to join the @loweryinstitute as a Board member,” Pierce wrote in an Instagram post. “Continuing the legacy of Dr. Lowery is important as I believe in their mission to create more ‘Change Agents.’”

Pierce went to work immediately as a board member, being a part of a week-long campaign, with a focus on Black and underserved communities of registered voters, to cast ballots on Nov.
