This year’s Law Day topic, conceived to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, calls upon us to reflect on the continuing need to rectify injustice in our country, to eliminate discrimination, and to cherish every individual’s basic human rights under the law.

There have been many individuals who, through their life’s work, have strived to make these lofty ideals a reality. These individuals have risen to the challengethey have answered the call, many making it their mission to further the objective of an America where everyone is treated equally. Paul Robeson was one such individual.
