Deep Delta Justice: A Black Teen, His Lawyer, and Their Groundbreaking Battle for Civil Rights in the SouthThe "arresting, astonishing history" of one lawyer and his defendant who together achieved a "civil rights milestone" (Justin Driver). In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19 year old black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight. Duncan was arrested a few minutes later for the crime of putting his hand on the arm of a white child. Rather than accepting his fate, Duncan found Richard Sobol, a brilliant, 29 year old lawyer
The "arresting, astonishing history" of one lawyer and his defendant who together achieved a "civil rights milestone" (Justin Driver).In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19-year-old black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight. Duncan was arrested a few minutes later for the crime of putting his hand on the arm of a white child. Rather than accepting his fate, Duncan found Richard Sobol, a brilliant, 29-year-old lawyer from New York who was the only white attorney at "the most radical law firm" in New Orleans. Against them stood one of the most powerful white supremacists in the South, a man called simply "The Judge."
In this powerful work of character-driven history, journalist Matthew Van Meter vividly brings alive how a seemingly minor incident brought massive, systemic change to the criminal justice system. Using first-person interviews, in-depth research and a deep knowledge of the law, Van Meter shows how Gary Duncan's insistence on seeking justice empowered generations of defendants-disproportionately poor and black-to demand fair trials. Duncan v. Louisiana changed American law, but first it changed the lives of those who litigated it.

You Stand Out
Great quality, vibrant color, and reasonable price. I really like the look of this suit. I bought it for a friend, and he really loved it as well. This suit really makes you stand out in a crowd, and would be good for prom or another special event.

Prom Time🙌🙌
Color: Gold, Size: Medium, Color: Gold, Size: Medium
I purchased this suit for my son’s prom, and it exceeded our expectations. The fit was true to size, the material feels good quality, and it looks very sharp in person. He was comfortable wearing it all day, and it gave him a polished, confident look for his special day. I would definitely recommend this suit to anyone looking for a stylish and well-fitting option!

Excellent quality for an excellent price tag
Color: Blue, Size: Medium
The suit arrived in 2 days after ordering; it arrived in excellent condition, was wrapped in clear plastic, however it was only in one package and should have been wrapped in a second layer in case of accidentally opening during the shipping process.
The suit was folded very neatly, I'll keep it as is as it's a gift for a friend of mine who is a musician and he will use it for
performance on stage. The size was M and correct. Unfortunately, it has arrived in the wrong color, I ordered blue, and purple has been delivered.
I hope, he likes it anyway. I'll keep it as it is too inconvenient for me to exchange it and ship it back to the sender.

Beautiful suit
Color: Purple, Size: Small
Suit is better than I expected. Bought this for my son for prom. The sequins POP. I am highly satisfied with this purchase. My son is 5'6 about 130 lbs and I ordered a size XS and it fit perfect. The only complaint I have is there is a hole for a button but no button is attached to the suit. Besides that, GET IT.
