  • History: Black Lawyers in Louisiana Prior to 1950
    DIVERSITY in the Legal Profession History: Black Lawyers in Louisiana Prior to 1950 By Rachel L. Emanuel ouisiana was reportedly the first Southern state to admit an African-American to its state Bar.1 Yet, until the esta- blishment of the Southern University School of Law, which graduated its first class in 1950, Jim Crow laws enacted in the 1880s kept the number of African-American lawyers to a mere handful. The First Three: Morgan, LBell and Chester The Seventh Census of 1853 reported 622 lawyers in Louisiana, but this infor- mation was not broken down by gender or race. By 1864, the number of lawyers had grown by fewer than seven per year to 698. With their commencement, members of Southern University Law Center’s first graduating C. Clay Morgan, a free black man, class in 1950 became much-needed additions to the legal arena for African-Americans. From was listed in 1860 as a lawyer in New left, Alex L. Pitcher, Leroy White, Ellyson F. Dyson, Jesse Stone and Alvin B. Jones. Photo Orleans but little is known about him.2 courtesy of Southern University Law Center. 104 August/September 2005 There were only four states reported to have admitted black lawyers to the bar prior to that time, none of them in the South. The states included Indiana (1860s), Maine (1844), Massachusetts (1845), New York (1848) and Ohio (1854). If, as is believed, Morgan was Louisiana’s first black lawyer,3 he would have been admitted to the Bar almost 10 years earlier than the average date for the other Southern states (Arkansas, 1866; Tennessee, 1868; Florida and Missis- sippi, 1869; Alabama, Georgia, Ken- tucky, South Carolina and Virginia, 1871; and Texas, 1873).

  • Oregon Pythian News
    Volume 24, Issue 2 December 2014 News for and About Oregon Pythians Oregon Pythian News Pythian Floats a Success Thanks to GC Randy & Gaston Lodge GASTON / HILLSBORO—Brother Knights of Gaston Lodge brought life to Grand Chancellor Randy Tipton’s idea that Oregon Pythians should promote our Order by having Pythian Floats in community parades around the state this year. The Knights built a great float which they took to Hillsboro for their 4th of July Parade. Members of both Gaston and Hillsboro Pythians and their families rode on the float and tossed candy to children along the way. Response from the crowd was very positive. The photo to the left depicts the float and Pythians from Hillsboro and Gaston at the Hillsboro 4th of July parade. PENDLETON—Damon Lodge planned and organized a float for the dress up parade to highlight the many activities we do to support the youth of our community. Grand Chancellor Randy Tipton came to Pendleton to be on our float and was joined by the following members: Jim Aldrich, Dale Freeman, Kone Hancock, Bill Peal, Ray Cable, Rob Inscore, Ben Anderson, Brian Bradley and Roman Olivera. We invited organizations who we have helped with steak feeds and donations to join with us on the float with signs thanking the lodge for the support. Represented were Pioneer Relief Nursery, the Softball State Champion and Youth Wrestling Team. Bill Peal provided the truck and Ray Cable gave us the use of his 30-foot trailer to make a great float. We were honored to have a 6-foot Knight in full combat armor, standing on the top of Bill’s truck—to command the attention of the crowd.

Composition and Presswork by the Memorial Press. Plymouth. Mass. PREFACE. It has become an axiom that every Legislature has its own special ana peculiar features. "Sufficient unto the (legislative) day is the evil there- of." Fortunately the Legislature of 1!)07. in sharp contrast with most of recent years, had no "investigation," although it came perilously near one. Never before was there a single measure involving so vast financial interests as the legislation involving the proposed union, or "merging," of the New York, Xew Haven & Hartford Railroad Company with that of the Boston & Maine; and certainly no legislative hearing ever before had before it within the same hour two railroad presidents of so great influ- ence as President Mellen of the former and President Tuttle of the lat- ter, both of whom were before the committee on railroads on the same afternoon. This session was marked also by the passage of the "anti- bucket-shop" legislation, and of acts to enable savings hanks to furnish life msurance at cost, and to compel one day's rest in seven as well as to perfect the eight-hour law in accordance with the wishes of organized labor.

PREFACE /909 The Legislature of 1909 will easily rank as a "double-header." It is entitled to this distinction by reascn cf the prominence cf the hills to revise the charter cf the city of Boston and to incorporate the Railroad Ih lding Company to take over the st< ck of the Boston & Maine Railroad Company, and of other companies, if deemed advisable. The former of these measures was made, practically, a political measure, while the latter was marked by an entire absence of party lines in its advocacy and oppo- sition. The results to follow from either will lie the only means cf deter- mining the relative or absolute value to the state of either or of both. The labor, liquor, and milk measures, this year, were not of marked im- portance in their final outcome. There seemed, in the end. a feeling that the existing legislation should not he materially altered. The automobile legislation was materially changed and in the direction of more safety for the general public as against speed maniacs and other offenders against travelers.
