Morris Dees  

Definition

  • Born December 16, 1936, Morris Dees is one of the most significant legal figures to advance civil rights and social justice for historically underserved groups. Despite his upbringing in segregationist Alabama, his parents imparted strong Christian values to Dees that compelled him to redress criminal and civic wrongs through the justice system. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Dees, Morris (1936–)]
