About the Project
The mission of the George Brown Legacy Project (GBLP) is to make the life and work of the late Congressman George Brown (1920-1999) a touchstone for education and research on the diversity, equity concerns, and environment of the Inland Region of California. This includes use of his world-renowned archives at UC, Riverside, opened in November 2016, by present and future generations of scholars and leaders in science, labor, business, and public service.
​
GBLP is a nonpartisan, charitable initiative that appreciates the operational support of the IE Community Foundation (IECF).
​
Our Honorary Advisory Committee includes leaders from throughout local, national, and international policy and peace-making, as well as the arts, academe, civil and human rights, environmental protection, labor, science, space, and technology.
