1962 Activist Attorney Baker Black Civil Rights Constance Lawyer Louisiana Meredith Motley New Orleans September Student University Of Mississippi


EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in American history. In 1962, James Meredith, an African American student, stood alongside his attorney Constance Baker Motley at the U. S. Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans. This photograph was taken during the time when Meredith filed a lawsuit against the University of Mississippi. The image portrays strength and determination as both Motley and Meredith face the daunting challenges of fighting for civil rights in the deeply segregated South. Their expressions reflect their unwavering commitment to justice and equality. Meredith's decision to enroll at the University of Mississippi sparked intense controversy and resistance from those who opposed racial integration. However, with Motley by his side, he confronted these obstacles head-on. Motley's presence is particularly noteworthy as she was one of few black female attorneys practicing law during this era. Her role as an advocate for civil rights further emphasizes her significance in this historic moment. This photograph serves as a reminder of the courage displayed by individuals like Meredith and Motley who fought tirelessly against discrimination and inequality. It stands as a testament to their bravery and resilience amidst adversity. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece that encapsulates not only an important chapter in American history but also celebrates two exceptional individuals who played pivotal roles in shaping our nation's ongoing struggle for equal rights.
