Robin Krawitz

The man put his life on the line and the life of his family on the line to do work that was illegal at the time, we can look back and say that our system was wrong. He was not wrong, he was practicing civil disobedience.

A year after he was prosecuted and punished there was a petition to the state Legislature to come up with a punishment that was more severe because the notorious Samuel Burris was still doing the work in the neighborhood.
