Description:: In a press conference, Barbara Williams, editor of the Black Law Journal, speaks about the publication as a resource for Black lawyers and how it can help advance equal justice and much-needed change in legal institutions. She talks about the need for Black lawyers to become advocates against injustices and the ways the legal system works against Black people and people from low-income backgrounds. Williams envisions the Black Law Journal as a forum for a new breed of legal activist that is prepared to share their knowledge with those concerned with Black community development. She also responds to questions about President Richard Nixon's law and order policy. Tom Bradley appears in this footage.
