Lament: My best friend in college, Matthew Albritton Frame (1951 – 2015), died at the age of 64 disillusioned before he could reclaim his earlier adulation and attempted practice of the law profession as more concerned with Justice than with winning cases. Would that he could have fathomed the pathos and nobility of the professional reckoning aka. vocational “repentance” archived below; or that he might simply have witnessed the law breakthroughs of Atty. Bryan Stevenson with the Equal justice Initiative alongside their stunning memorial and museum in Montgomery, Alabama. Thank God, on this Martin Luther King Jr. weekend in January 2021, that our country is still engaged in a national reckoning of our often backslidden yet continually renewed and sustained aspirations to achieve ‘liberty and justice for all.’
