Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948): A pivotal document by the United Nations, setting out basic human rights universally.

On July 2nd, 1964, exactly 60 years ago, President Johnson ("LBJ") signed the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act. The part of that law prohibiting workplace discrimination based on race, religion and sex is called Title VII. LBJ's remarks that day are worth reviewing. He speaks about the "unending search for justice" that is part of the American experience. He praises the Founders, while simultaneously insisting that, with the passage of the 1964 CRA, America will finally begin to live up to the promise of its own original ideals. "Those who are equal before Gd will now finally be equal in the voting booth and in the workplace," said the President. The purpose of the 1964 CRA is not to divide us, he added, but to bring us together, through a deep and abiding respect for human dignity. Note that there is no rejection of American or Western values here; just the opposite. As July 4th approaches, it is time for all of us to come together to eliminate what LBJ called the "last vestiges of injustice" in the American experiment and to do so with pride and respect for our country's values and ideals. IMHO, the passage of the 1964 CRA was a holy moment in American history. President Johnson's remarks can be found here:

Happy Sunday What did the pastor teach today 😂? Let's see attentive people 😊 but stop Aunts and sirs. Nneka and co don't distract my attention. So today we are talking on; "The Power of Justice: Reflections on the Legal Profession As legal professionals, we have a unique privilege and responsibility to uphold the rule of law and advocate for justice. But what does it mean to truly pursue justice, and how can we make a meaningful impact in our communities? In my experience, justice is not just about winning cases or securing convictions. It's about standing up for the vulnerable, protecting individual rights, and promoting equality and fairness. It's about being a voice for those who have been silenced, marginalized, or oppressed. It's about challenging systemic injustices and fighting for reform. It's about being a guardian of the law, but also a champion of compassion, empathy, and understanding. So, let's continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, to innovate and improve our legal systems, and to use our skills and knowledge to make a positive difference in the world. Let's remember that justice is not just a concept, but a living, breathing force that requires our constant effort and dedication. #Justice #Law #LegalProfession #SocialJustice #HumanRights #Compassion #Empathy" Enjoy your day 😊

Reflecting on Roosevelt's words: 'No man is above the law, and no man is below it.' Let's ensure that justice is blind and accessible to all, regardless of status.  • • #quoteoftheday #justice #equality #peace #law #attorney #legal #humanrights #truth #lawfirm #lawyers #court #supremecourt
