This article is celebrating the first African-American
lawyer hired by the Department of Labor.
What is important in this article is what made the man, George
Crockett. He was devoted to civil rights. He sought out and education; he graduated
from the University of Michigan Law School in 1934. He faced diversity and had the ambition to
climb up the ladder and become a judge.
Potential Quotes:
“operated so far beyond the trenches that it was often
decades before society caught up.”
“Much of Crockett’s career was spent championing Civil
Rights issues.”
” An outspoken man who didn’t shy away from controversy, he
passionately defended communist leaders, openly protested apartheid in South
Africa and served as a Civil Rights activist.”
This source is credible because I found it using one of the
websites given, findingDulcinea. It
provides sources for every bit of information it uses. It lists who wrote it and when it was
published. The website is credible and
the sources is lists are all from credible places, such as the New York Times,
Blackpast.org, and the Biographical Directory of the United State.
Reflection:
I will use this article to show why George Crockett went so
far in life. I will pick apart what made
him the lawyer he turned into and why.
In the article, it lists all his experiences and what he stood for, I will
use this to show that he had ambition.
Crockett knew what he wanted to do.
He also had a cause; he wanted to stand up for civil rights. Crockett’s qualities are what made him a good
lawyer.
