Ultimately, Allen was the only southern elected official who testified in favor of the legislation, a stunning act of social courage in 1963 that led to threats\u003Cbr \/\u003Eof bodily harm and being ostracized for decades by many of his peers and lifelong friends.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn recognition of Allen\u2019s legacy of social courage and humanitarian concern, Georgia Tech and the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts have established the Ivan Allen Jr. Initiative, which will encompass two defining elements: the Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Social Courage and the Ivan Allen Jr. Institute for Advanced Studies.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIvan Allen Jr. Prize for Social Courage\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBeginning in 2011, the Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Social Courage will replace the existing Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Progress and Service, which has been awarded since 2001 to prominent individuals for a lifetime of achievement and with strong connections to Atlanta or Georgia.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe new Allen Prize will be international in scope and will recognize individuals who, by standing up for a clear moral principle in the social arena, have positively affected public discourse at the risk of their own careers, livelihoods, and even their lives.
