Abstract

From the video archives of the Cornell Law School Heritage Project. The interviewer is Alfred C. Aman; the videographer, Thomas R. Bruce. This video covers Judge Motley's first civil rights trial (in Jackson, Mississippi), the psychological impact of the Brown case, and the strain of the ensuing civil rights movement on the NAACP Legal Defense Fund lawyers. (Duration 21:56) The initial phase of this project was sponsored by a generous grant from the law firm of Sutherland Asbill and Brennan LLP.
