“In the case of the People v. Henry Sweet, Darrow delivered one of the most beautiful summations ever spoken. He talked of course about the facts of the case and argued the law of self-defense. But he also talked about justice generally and spoke eloquently about the plight of black people, only recently officially liberated from slavery. He said of the African American, “The law has made him equal, but man has not. And, after all, the last analysis is, what has man done? And not what has the law done.” Ninety years later, that question remains relevant. Darrow also said this: After all, every human being’s life in this world is inevitably mixed with every other life and, no matter what laws we pass, no matter what precautions we take, unless the people we meet are kindly and decent and human and liberty-loving, then there is no liberty. Freedom comes from human beings, rather than from laws and institutions”
