Renowned social justice advocate and attorney Ben Crump to
give a speech on Gideon v. Wainwright today in Atlanta

Civil rights attorney and advocate Ben Crump, of Tallahassee, Florida, will give the keynote address during the Gideon’s Promise Annual Igniting Change Awards in Atlanta at the Ritz-Carlton Downtown on Friday. Crump will break down the narrative behind Gideon v. Wainwright and how it’s relevant in the criminal justice system today.
