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. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Fowlkes, Oliver. 630 00 Civil rights movement|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2008123803|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 630 7 Civil rights movement.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1778933 630 07 Civil rights movement.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1778933 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Civil rights lawyers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2012003325|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Social advocacy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh94006819 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Civil rights lawyers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1893265 650 7 Social advocacy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1122271 651 0 Southern States|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85125643 651 0 New England|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85091267 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 Southern States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1244550 651 7 New England.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1241913 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026047 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919894 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFowlkes, Oliver|tA Moment in Memphis |dMontgomery : NewSouth Books,c2021|z9781588384652 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=3024776|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
