“Today we honor the first,” Dean Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge said at the event. “When future students following in Chester’s footsteps enter these halls for the first time, they [will] forever see Chester’s name. They [will] forever see Chester’s portrait. They [will] forever know that they belong here just like Chester did and just like Chester does now.”

A year after naming its rotunda after its first Black graduate, Chester C. Davenport, the University of Georgia School of Law in Athens is honoring him again with the unveiling of his portrait.
In a ceremony last month, the school displayed Davenport’s portrait in its main entrance for the first time. It was commissioned to be painted by Suzanne Royal in September 2021, when the school announced it would name the rotunda after Davenport, who died in August 2020.
