DESCRIPTION: \n \nOn March 31, 2014, ERASE Racism held its Annual Youth Roundtable Event, which is a special opportunity for Long Island students to speak with modern-day civil rights champions and leaders who are making a difference in the fight for racial equity. This year we were honored to have Frederick K. Brewington, Esq. as our speaker. Over 70 students from 9 different schools attended the event. Fred spoke about his journey to become a civil rights lawyer and the characteristics that are necessary for success. He urged the students to always perform at their highest potential and take on leadership positions now and throughout their lives. Fred explained how being a civil rights lawyer requires his full commitment. "When I wake up I fight, when I'm in the courtroom I fight, before I go to bed I fight," he said. However, Fred also explained that one does not have to be a civil rights lawyer to help in the fight for racial equity. Every single person can make a difference by educating themselves, taking on leadership positions, and calling out inequities wherever they can be identified.\n\nWe thank Fred for his inspiring and heartfelt conversation with the students!\n\nFor details, click here: https://www.eraseracismny.org/take-action/attend-an-event/past-events/event/32
