On why he became an attorney:

"Growing up in the intellectually stimulating environment of Yale University, I recall the then president Kingman Brewster, acknowledged that Bobby Seale, leader of the Black Panther party could not get a fair trial when he was accused of ordering the murder of Alex Rackley - a supposed FBI informant. My little league football coach Warren Kimbro, who was also a member of the Black Panthers, was also on trial for the murder. Why would the president of a prestigious Ivy league institution admit limitation in the system, this question intrigued me.

During college at Morehouse, I studied political science and learned politics is the art of who gets what, where , how and why. This pedagogy of the oppressed propelled me to Howard University School of Law, where giants such as Dean Wiley Branton and distinguished Professor Herbert O. Reid urged us to become social scientist using the groundwork laid by those who came before us, from Dred Scott to Thurgood Marshall.

Since that time I have had a passion for equal justice under the law, and making it work for people."
