Answer:

He was encouraged by a teacher to apply to law school.

Step-by-step explanation:

With earlier plans to become a historian and preacher, Gray moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and received a Juris Doctor degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 1954. At the time there was no law school in Alabama that would accept African Americans.
