Hidden Legal Figures The Podcast | hosted by Derrick Alexander Pope J.D.

In 1962, one law professor said "the civil rights movement was the first revolution in history to be conducted on advice of counsel." The Arc of Justice Institute presents Hidden Legal Figures, the new podcast that shines a light on the legal efforts associated with one of the most pivotal moments in American history. In Season 1 we will rediscover some of the lost stories of the lawyers and judges who shaped the success of the civil rights era and bring into plain view how their efforts changed a nation. Hidden Legal Figures will be hosted by Derrick Alexander Pope, The Arc's president and founding director.

The mission of this public educational institution is to foster a greater understanding of the rule of law where governance, economics, and rights intersect.

"We have only begun to scratch the surface of what it means to have a respect for the rule of law. We have a responsibility to live out its true meaning and to renew a commitment to its grand purpose. This is a call we cannot ignore." - Derrick Alexander Pope, J.D.
