Senior Counsel to the Assistant U.S. Attorney General for Civil Rights Leo Terrell was presented with the “Beacon Award for Courage” at the Christian Leaders Summit at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia on Thursday.
The honor — granted by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), International Christian Embassy Jerusalem-USA (ICEJ-USA), and Liberty University’s Center for Israel — recognized Terrell for “his exceptional contributions to the global fight against antisemitism, his deep and steadfast friendship with the Jewish people and State of Israel, and his resolute leadership in defending human dignity and standing unwaveringly for truth and freedom.”
In keynote remarks to nearly 200 Liberty University students at the summit’s closing dinner, Terrell said, “I’m so happy that Christians want to fight this battle against antisemitism. Antisemitism is not a Jewish issue. Newsflash, I’m not Jewish. Antisemitism is an American issue and a Western civilization issue. And young people, we need you. I need you. The government needs you. America needs you. Western civilization needs you.”
“When it comes to fighting antisemitism, when it comes to fighting anti-Christian bias, there has never been a greater man or person in the White House than Donald J. Trump,” Terrell declared.
