LEGALLY DEFENDING THE GOOD NEWS

Hayden C. Covington has been recognized as one of the greatest civil liberties attorneys in American history. Listen to how he learned the truth, was invited to become the Society’s legal counsel, and tirelessly presented 111 petitions and appeals to the Supreme Court from 1939 to 1963. He won 37 (more than 80%) of the 44 cases he brought before the Court, involving issues including compulsory flag-salute statutes, public preaching, and door-to-door literature distribution.
