MLK Jr. Memorial Convocation

FRED D. GRAY, speaker

The leading civil rights lawyer in America, Fred Gray's legal career spans a time period of 40 years. It began in 1954 when Gray represented Rosa Parks, who was arrested because she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, an event which ignited the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Many of the civil rights cases he has won have become some of the most important in U.S. constitutional law. He also was Martin Luther King Jr.'s first civil rights attorney. He is the author of "Bus Ride to Justice"(1995) and "The Tuskeegee Syphilis Study" (1998).
