NO SMALL ENDEAVOR: S7E3
The civil rights movement was spearheaded by a host of brilliant, courageous, and dedicated people, with the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks among the most famed. But alongside those widely celebrated were a great host of other tireless, courageous and crucial contributors to the cause, even if less well known.
Dr. Fred Gray is one such person. As a civil rights lawyer, many of his cases were monumental; he was MLK's first attorney, he successfully argued multiple times before the Supreme Court, and he represented the plaintiffs in the infamous Tuskegee syphilis case. He was also a close friend of Rosa Parks, and was there the day MLK’s house was bombed. Today, he shares those stories, along with his thoughts on the state of the ongoing fight for equity in the United States.
