WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Trial Attorney Willie Gary was featured as the keynote speaker at the Wake Forest Black Law Students Association’s 31st Annual Scholarship Banquet on Friday, Feb. 12, at the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts.

According to Ashlee Johnson, BLSA member and event chair, his speech was called “Fulfilling the Dream,” and was an eloquent reimagining of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech of 1963.

Mr. Gary reflected on what people are doing today to fulfill Dr. King’s dream, especially in the vein of on-campus movements, student protests, and presidential elections.

The Black Law Students Association request Mr. Gary to speak with these students to empower them to become stronger leaders and voices to the voiceless. Third year law students and members of BLSA, “BLSA holds a special place in my heart,” commented Mr. Gary, “it is important that lawyers and judges serve as mentors and role models for law students and while practicing law is important it is just as meaningful to offer my time, talent and resources to young people, specifically BLSA.”

The speech finished with a rousing ovation by the crowd, giving testament to Mr. Gary’s efficacy as an orator in the courtroom, as well as his ability to inspire young professionals of the future.
