- Abstract
- The civil rights era was a period of unveiling and combatting discrimination against, and unjust legal treatment of minorities in the United States. This article discusses how the unconventional participation of influential lawyers in the civil rights movement was necessary in counteracting these norms. It was crucial both during and after this period for these legal advocates to ensure the public of their commitment to a transformation of the justice system by connecting with the diverse members of their community. This article serves to trace the valiant efforts of such lawyers in North Carolina and the South, allowing for a better understanding of the actions that were needed to provide change that has benefitted all minorities in this country, and by extension, the world.
