#1 In the early 1960s, I traveled around Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana trying voting discrimination cases for the government. I was too shy to ask for something for myself, but I was always able to speak up for others.

#2 I was too shy to ask for something for myself, but I was always able to speak up for others. I ended up representing the Buffalo Creek survivors in a case that made me a folk hero in the hills of West Virginia.

#3 Charles Cowan, Jr. , the local football hero, was elected chairman of the Buffalo Creek Grade School committee that was going to file a lawsuit against the coal company.

#4 The Buffalo Creek disaster exposed the shortcomings of private law firms and how they fail to protect the little guy.
