Pop quiz: name two renowned civil rights lawyers from the civil rights era. That should actually be quite easy. One could easily choose from Thurgood Marshall, Constance Baker Motley, Spottswood Robinson, James Nabrit, or Charles Houston. But there was also Oliver W. Hill, who before his death yesterday, amassed an incredible record. This article, by Julian Bond, aptly reflects the greatness of this pioneer. This was a man who was worthy of the many honors he received. Thank you, Mr. Hill. Rest in peace.
