“I think the movement would have been a failure without the presence and support of great lawyers. I hope that whenever we speak of the movement, we would give to the next generation a wider view and greater understanding of their contribution.”
There’s more to the story. . .
Few people know much about the heroic and vital contributions that lawyers and judges made to the civil rights movement. Hidden Legal Figures rediscovers those untold stories in a way that is entertaining, educational, and compelling.
Hidden Legal Figures is more than a podcast, we’re an oral museum™ and our episodes are like exhibits. And the best exhibits showcase the lawyers, the judges, and the cases that gave life to the movement. We invite you to step inside, listen to, and learn more about this great American story.
