Civil Rights Attorney Morris Dees to Speak Jan. 19 Civil rights attorney Morris Dees will speak on social justice and education at 8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 19 in Templeton-Blackburn Memorial Auditorium on the Athens campus of Ohio University. As co-founder and chief trial counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center, Dees has won many judgments against extremist organizations by persuading juries to hold racist leaders accountable for their crimes. In 1971, Dees founded the Southern Poverty Law Center, offering free legal services to the poor. Dees has won millions of dollars in cases involving free speech, women's rights, the Ku Klux Klan and the White Aryan Resistance. In 1998, he won a $37.8 million jury verdict against the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and its leaders for burning the Macedonia Baptist Church in Manning, South Carolina. The speech is free and open to the public. For more information, please read the full text of this release.
