Dwayne Ashley, president & CEO of the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund, also honored Bristow’s contribution to the higher education community.
“Dr. Bristow’s involvement, commitment and contributions to TMSF’s mission of preparing young men and women for leadership were tremendous,” said Ashley in a statement.
“On a more personal note, it was both inspirational and extremely gratifying to work with Dr. Bristow over the years,” he said. “He was a leader, a visionary and a passionate educator who truly followed a personal mission of advancing higher education as well as building a greater appreciation for the contributions of HBCUs. He will be missed greatly by the TMSF family and the entire higher education community.”
Bristow earned a bachelor’s, doctorate and law degrees from Northwestern University and a master’s degree from Governors State University. He is survived by a daughter and a fiancé, as well as extended family living in Alabama, Mississippi, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
