Institutions are the embodiment of civilization and the collective spirit and will of men and women, passing on from generation to generation the heritage of a people; insuring the continuity of edu- cation, religion, and commerce; preserving the mores, culture and laws of a nation; and giving viability and substance to the continu- um of life. Whether institutions are for good or evil is determined largely by the intrinsic fairness and justice of their purpose and motivation, but ultimately by their operation and interpretation as composites of action.

The Hall of Fame was inaugurated in 1986 by then President Fred D. Gray, Sr., to honor those lawyers who have been licensed toprac- ticefor forty years or more and who have made significant contribu- tions to the cause ofjustice. As we meet on the 73rdAnniversary of the National Bar Association, it is appropriate to pause and recog- nize those among us who have by, through and within institutions in their communities, states and this nation, extractedand demanded the greater goodfor all. The men and women inducted into the Hall of Fame today join their colleagues whose courage, intellectual accomplishments, professional achievements and community contri- , butions deserve the highest recognition.
