The autobiography of the lawyer who represented the Freedom Riders in Montgomery...
Fred Gray, one of two black lawyers in Montgomery, Alabama in 1954, was “determined to destroy everything segregated that I could find.” He did not have to wait long. When his friend Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 for challenging segregation on a city bus, the twenty-four-year-old became her and then Martin Luther King Jr.’s lawyer. He went on to become one of the nation’s most successful civil rights lawyers. His clients included the Freedom Riders, the Selma-to-Montgomery marchers, the victims of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and many more. Bus Ride to Justice (Revised Edition) is the story of a courageous human being filled with a passion for equal justice.
