A Lawyer Seeking Justice

Morris Dees grew up on a cottonarm in Alabama. He picked cottonalongside the black men whoworked on the arm. Even when hewas little, he did not believe thatblack people and white peopleshould be treated dierently. He

was very air even then.

When he was still in college, he started a business deliveringbirthday cakes to his classmates who couldnt be with their ami

Ater he became a lawyer, Morris ought in the courts or blackpeople and white people and people o all races to be treated tsame even when no other lawyers would. He won lawsuits tallowed black people to join the state police orce, swim in YMswimming pools, and get elected into the state legislature.

Morris Dees looked around the country and saw that there wermany people who needed his help. Morris wanted to help thospeople, too, so he and Montgomery attorney Joe Levin createdthe Southern Poverty Law Center. Today, Morris Dees and theSouthern Poverty Law Center help hundreds o thousands opeople all over the country to be treated airly.

Morris Dees wants all people to be treated airly.

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,We shall overcome someday;Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,We shall overcome someday.

The Lord will see us through, the Lord will see us through,The Lord will see us through someday;Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,We shall overcome someday.

Were on to victory, were on to victory,Were on to victory someday;Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,Were on to victory someday.

Well walk hand in hand, well walk hand in hand,Well walk hand in hand someday;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,Well walk hand in hand someday.

We are not araid, we are not araid,We are not araid today;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,We are not araid today.

Who Said That?

Sometimes someone says something so amazing that it just has tobe repeated.

The Civil Rights Memorials beautiul black granite wall includesa quote rom Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This line rom the Book oAmos was quoted by Dr. King during his I Have a Dream speech.It reects his belie that we must keep working to ensure equal

rights or everyone.

Until justice rolls down like waters and

righteousness like a mighty stream

Think about what you might say to express a similar sentiment.

Ripples of Hope

Inside the Civil Rights Memorial Center, next to the Wall oTolerance, a quote rom Robert F. Kennedys 966 speech at CapeTown University in South Arica appears. It reads, in part:

Each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in thetotal of these acts will be written the history of this generation.

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot ofothers, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.

When you drop a rock in a pool o water, small waves ripple out

rom where the rock hit the water. Water also bubbles up throughthe Civil Rights Memorial to ripple out over the names o peoplewho took a stand during the Civil Right Movement. In a similarway, when you make a personal choice, the eect or consequenceso that choice can ripple out to many other people.

Think about a time when you took a stand to help someone else.Fill out the ripples on the acing page, to show how your choiceaected those around you.

Who Am I?

I was the youngest o children. My dad was a armer. We had 8acres o land.

I served as a military police ofcer in the U. S. Army, reaching therank o corporal.

My wie had just had a new baby, and I was granted emergencyleave to go home. I was excited about seeing them, but a littleanxious about the 95-mile bus ride.

I was asleep when the bus pulled into my hometown o Taylorsville,

Mississippi. Apparently, a Taylorsville police ofcer came on boardwhen we arrived. He woke me up by slapping my ace. The ofcerslapped me several more times beore he shot me.

Some say the police ofcer shot me because I was seated inthe wrong section o the bus. Others say I was mistaken or aFreedom Rider. The police ofcer later claimed I attacked him,and the grand jury believed him. The police ofcer was cleared oany wrongdoing.

More than , people attended my uneral. I was buried withull military honors, including a 6-gun salute.
