Honors and Memorials
Hofstra University established the Allard K. Lowenstein Civil Rights Scholarship in 2007.
Yale Law School also has several programs named in honor of Lowenstein. The Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Project was founded in 1981 shortly after Lowenstein's death to honor his contributions in the field of human rights and provide law students with a vehicle to continue his work. The Lowenstein Human Rights Clinic, an outgrowth of the Project, is a clinical course in which law students participate in legal and advocacy research and writing projects for academic credit.
Lowenstein's papers are held as a special collection of the Long Beach (New York) Public Library and offer much material relative to his activities and his times. The Long Beach, NY Public Library is also named after Lowenstein since the 1980s.
An area adjacent to the United Nations headquarters in New York City is named Allard K. Lowenstein Square.
In 1983, the documentary film Citizen: The Political Life of Allard K. Lowenstein was produced by Brogan De Paor, Mike Farrell and Julie Thompson and directed by Thompson. It was broadcasted on PBS Television in 1984.
Folk singer Harry Chapin dedicated his song Remember When the Music to Lowenstein as part of the live introduction to the song on the album "Bottom Line Encore Series: Harry Chapin".
