Brandeis to be featured KET1 biography tonight - "The People's Attorney" - and will be featured prominently in the series beginning Wed. night on PBS titled "The Jewish Americans"

Profile sums up Louis Brandeis' impact on law and life will be presented on KET1 Wed. night, Jan. 8, 2007 at 9:00 p.m.  Here is a short intro from Tom Dorsey in the Courier Journal:

His life and career were full of many firsts as shown by "Brandeis: The People's Attorney" at 9 tonight on KET1. A number of area people were interviewed for the program.

Brandeis was the first American Jew to reach those rarefied legal heights. He did it at a time when racial, ethnic and religious discrimination wasn't even camouflaged by political correctness.  * * *

The TV biography focuses more on Brandeis' legal career than his leadership in Zionism and the establishment of a homeland for Jews, which he didn't live to see. Brandeis also figures prominently in "The Jewish Americans," a new PBS series starting at 9 p.m. tomorrow on KET1.
