Jeremy Simms, a local white lawyer, age 36, was outside of his office at 3 PM protesting yesterday. “I was standing up for what is right,” Jeremy said, “and I believe in what is right.” Almost every day, Jeremy stands outside his office preaching to anybody who hears. He says, “Are you a racist? Do you believe in segregation? How would you feel if you were being treated badly?” He is going to be speaking in the Mississippi Mall this Thursday.

He has changed some peoples views of segregation. John Jackson of Vicksburg, Mississippi, 39, said, “Jeremy has changed my mind completely. I thank him very much.” Spokane County has awarded him with the Citizenship Award. The Mayor of Mississippi said, “I feel that Jeremy greatly deserves this award. He should be very proud of himself.” When we asked Jeremy who encouraged him the most, he said, “My parents were racists, and believed in segregation. My hero is Jackie Robinson. In 1944, he was court-martialed for refusing a driver’s request to go to the back of the bus. I would do the same. Jackie stands up for his rights, and I will too.”

Jeremy is very passionate, and feels very strongly about stopping segregation. Dominick, one of Jeremy’s best friends, supports Jeremy with this theory. “As an African-American, I know how it feels to be treated badly. I support him. He also recently told me that he was reading a book about Jackie Robinson. I can tell that Jackie is his hero.” Jeremy also founded the NGUH Foundation (The NEVER GIVE UP HOPE Foundation). Donations will go to Jeremy against segregation.
