When Netanyahu and Trump finally met and had their joint press conference, many observers in the audience wondered who had the upper hand – in other words: “who set a trap for whom”. And when the world heard for the first time of Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and expel the Palestinians it was unclear whose idea that was and who benefits.

By Newest Catalog Items

TUC Archive: Fred Gray, just out of law school, made a commitment to destroy everything segregated in his home state of Alabama     Rosa Parks was only Fred Gray’s second case.

When Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 for violating the segregated seating ordinance, 26-year-old Martin Luther King was chosen to lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and 24-year-old Fred Gray became his and the movement’s lawyer.
