In November 2013, George Washington University organized the Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Lecture to celebrate the memory of Brown in the Jack Morton Auditorium.[1][2] The ceremony was free and open to the public.[7] Among others, Steven Knapp, current president of George Washington University was present at the lecture.[7][21] During the lecture Knapp described Brown as "the first full-time African American professor at George Washington, a scholar of the history of the District of Columbia and a tireless advocate for the preservation of the city's heritage".[21]
