Just Throw a Rock... and Run
An introspective and brutally honest look at race relations in the Southern United States. Judge Gary E. Trawick vividly illustrates what it was like living through the creation and implementation of the Civil Rights Act in North Carolina. Judge Trawick shares how he came to grips with misplaced hate, endemic racism and toxic culture. He challenges the reader to find the courage to forgive and love their fellow man and he provides insights on how to find solace in a world that is becoming increasingly polarized.
One of Judge Trawick’s philosophies as a lawyer was: “You cannot practice law scared,” meaning you cannot be effective as a trial lawyer if you are afraid to take on the unpopular cases or what members of the public are going to think of you if you do. This philosophy is carried forward in this book, Just Throw a Rock...and Run, in which he tackles the sensitive issue of race in our community and in our country.
