       Epilogue 
520    This is the story of a Southern White boy growing up in 
       segregated Mobile and his struggle to escape. In Part One 
       the boy, a newly minted ACLU lawyer in Memphis, encounters
       racism while seeking to obtain justice for a Black youth 
       beaten by police after Dr. King's assassination in 1968. 
       When threats against his family become oppressive, he 
       flees to the North hoping to carry on his quest for 
       justice. Part Two chronicles his attempts in Massachusetts
       to address issues of the disenfranchised, poor, people of 
       color, gays, and the mentally challenged. In doing so, he 
       confronts a North that when stripped of liberal patina is 
       as steeped in racism as the South. This memoir is about 
       that boy's journey away from the society in which he grew 
       up and his attempt to atone for guilt by leaving Memphis 
       before his young Black client obtains justice.
