MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Montgomery native and civil rights attorney Fred Gray will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Nominated by Congresswoman Terri Sewell, this medal is among the highest civilian awards in the nation.
After graduating from law school, Gray returned to Alabama to start his historic career as the legal mind behind several pivotal civil rights cases. Robinson says Gray is among heroes such as Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and John Lewis. At 91, Gray is the one still alive and Robinson tells me it’s a reflection of how not long ago their activism took place.
