I'm a civil rights attorney. I'm a victim rights attorney.

Minorities have never been given their rights. They have always had to wage a political and legal battle to win them.

I cannot take every case that people ask me to take.

I was a single mother when my child was little.

I have represented people in book deals.

When you're fighting for civil rights, it's sometimes two steps forward and one step back. Civil rights are an evolution; and you have to bring people along.

Women will no longer be silent when they suffer injustices against them.
