Civil Rights Warriors Collecting Law's Frontline People
In 1967 Clarence Dunnaville Jr left a New York law job to advance civil rights in the South, facing gun threats from a Mississippi constable. He joined the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, formed after Kennedy's civil rights speech, and helped push fair housing and school desegregation. The group, now 35 years old, still mobilizes top lawyers to work pro bono on liberal causes amid ongoing battles in the South and nationwide.
