Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship Class of 2011
Preserving the Memory of Mickey Leland
On August 8, 2000, then-Energy Secretary Bill Richardson renamed the Office of Fossil Energy's Minority Education Intiative the Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship. The more than 100 members of the 2000 class became the first "Mickey Leland Energy Fellows."
The Secretary stated that the ceremony to honor the late Congressman from Houston who died on August 7, 1989, in a plane crash will be a way to "remember a great American who dedicated his life to expanding human potential."
The Secretary also said that he "could find no better way to honor his memory than to endow his name on a program that will elevate the opportunities for future generations of minority students."
