ABA Awards Luncheon Photography

It was an honour to hear civil rights attorney and activist Fred Gray speak at the recent American Bar Association mid-term meeting held in Vancouver BC, where I was commisioned to provide the Awards Luncheon Photography. Gray was awarded the 2018 NCBP fellow award, in part for his 60 plus years of service. His was one of 8 awards given out on this day.

During the Civil Rights Movement, Gray came to prominence working with Martin Luther King, Jr. In some of his first cases as a young Alabama attorney (and solo practitioner), Gray defended Claudette Colvin and later Rosa Parks, who were charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to seat themselves in the rear of segregated city buses. Gray is portrayed by Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the 2014 film Selma, which dramatizes the Selma to Montgomery marches and Gray’s argument before Judge Frank Johnson that the march should be allowed to go forward.

With 20+ years of experience, Scott Brammer photography is available for conference and event photography throughout Vancouver and Whistler. Contact us today for more info on how we can serve your upcoming event.
