FREDDIE GRAY AND FRED D. GRAY
http://www.amazon.com/Bus-Ride-Justice-Life-Works/dp/1588381137
One of my colleagues, compeers, and heroes. in the National Bar Association is Fred D. Gray of Tuskegee, Alabama, one of the greatest lawyers ever--of whatever class or color. With the recent killing of Freddie (or "Freddy," spelled both ways in media), I thought of Attorney Fred D. Gray, whom I got to know, personally, in Baltimore in 1995, on a bus ride from Morgan State University, back to our NBA convention hotel, whose President he later became. This current book updates an earlier that I had read, but this one, published in 2013, he autographed for me. Read this book! Then, you will see, why I say unreservedly he is one of the best!
