Christian Scholars Conference 2023 Interview with Fred Gray

Hosted by Randy Lowry and Interviewed by Mark Lanier, Fred Gray at the Lanier Theological Library. Gray recounts the history of the civil rights era as the 'chief counsel' during the peaceful demonstrations of Rosa Parks and others.
"One of the most important civil rights lawyers in our history, Fred's legal brilliance and strategy desegregated schools and secured the right to vote," Biden said during the 2022 Medal of Freedom ceremony. "An ordained minister, he imbued a righteous calling that touched the soul of our nation."
