He also served as the Civil Rights Commissioner in Amherst, the President of the Western Massachusetts Chapter of NAACP, and a recipient of Amherst’s Martin Luther King Citizens Award, and founded Citizens for Racial Amity Now in 2013. As an active member of the Baha’i Faith, Ray Elliott had a deep passion for racial justice and equity.
