The law firm of Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. would like to congratulate President Elect Barack Obama on his victory in the 2008 presidential election.  The election of Barack Obama is a significant milestone in American history.  For the first time in the country’s 232 year history the people of America have elected an African American to the highest office in the land.  This choice by the American public shows how far we have come as a country since the dark days of slavery and denial of rights to citizens based on race.  

The ground work for President Elect Obama’s victory is the net result of years of hard work by crusading lawyers, judges, activists and politicians.  These reformers refused to be intimidated by threats from closed minded bigots and worked hard to bring about the country we have today.  Pivotal events  in American history like Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I have a dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln memorial and the subsequent passage of the Civil Rights act of 1964 paved the way for and President Elect Obama’s victory.  http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/vii.html

Unfortunately, while President Elect Obama’s victory is another great stride towards true racial equality in America, we have not yet fully shed racism from our society.  Despite Title VII of the Civil Rights Act’s prohibition on taking adverse employment actions against an employee based on their race, many employers still refuse to stop their discriminatory ways.  A new generation of lawyers, like the attorneys of the Law Firm of Leeds Morelli and Brown P.C., has emerged to carry on the legacy of progressive legal professionals and fight for true equality.   For any questions, contact an attorney at the Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. law firm for a free consultation at 1-800-585-4658.
