About the Book

It’s Easy to Talk Justice is a case study of the civil rights complaint: Hudson versus Philander Smith College. It details a female plaintiff’s legal challenge against her employer and defended by a prestigious law firm.

“The truth in a story is never one-sided. It is never just a lawyer’s voice, a president’s voice, or a cabinet member’s voice that makes it valid. The truth in a story includes the victim’s voice.”
