We are equally as happy to open our 2021 Virtual Annual Conference with the theme: “THE CHALLENGE OF BLACKNESS IN AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: CONTINUING THE STRUGGLE TO PRESERVE AND EXPAND THE HOUSTONIAN JURISPRUDENCE OF EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW” Since 1925, the Washington Bar Association has provided leadership in the struggle to make the promise of equal justice under law a reality for all. Prior to the emergence of Houstonian Jurisprudence, the reality of justice for Black Americans was haunted by the specter of the Black Codes, as well as the Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) and Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) cases. This was true notwithstanding the outcome of the Civil War and the existence of the Civil War Amendments. No one has articulated the enduring challenge of blackness in our American Democracy better than Frederick Douglass in the 19th Century: “[W]hether ‘American justice, American liberty, American civilization, American law, and American Christianity could be made to include and protect alike forever all American citizens in the rights which have been guaranteed to them by the organic and fundamental laws of the land.’” Rayford Logan, The Betrayal of the Negro: From Rutherford B. Hayes to Woodrow Wilson (1965) (quoting Frederick Douglass). Lest we forget, in 1895, we have the death of Douglass and the birth of a beacon of equal justice named Charles Hamilton Houston (“CHH”). It was the symbolic passing of an equal justice advocacy baton to black lawyers to understand, embrace and pursue equal justice principles under law, which was later exemplified by the work and life of Charles Hamilton Houston, particularly, his admonition that: “There should be a three-ringed fight going on at all times.” Since this peculiar nadir around the turn of the 20th century, from Plessy, black folk and friends stood up, especially black lawyers, and organized and prepared themselves for making our own case for equal justice under law for all. It was this attention to organization, preparation and struggle that took us from Plessy to Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Yet, despite the life, works and victories of the WBA’s Charles Hamilton Houston Medallion of Merit recipients, such as, Thurgood Marshall, Robert Carter, Constance Baker Motley, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy I. Height, John Lewis, and many others, we are confronted in 2021 with state legislatures around the country engaged in throw-back voter suppression tactics designed to frustrate and hinder voters of color. It appears that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision gutting the preclearance provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in Shelby County v. Holder (2013), resurrected the latent jurisprudence of the Dred Scott and Plessy, and forced us to confront once again Douglass’ 19th century question in the 21st century. In other words, can we expect and get equal justice in American Democracy without Houstonian Jurisprudence? That is the challenge of blackness in American today. CHH Medallion of Merit recipient Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dissent in Shelby County states succinctly the assault on Houstonian Jurisprudence, as follows: “Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.” Moreover, Vernon E. Jordan, another CHH Medallion of Merit recipient, tells a most revealing story of how white supremacy impacted black citizens in Marengo County, Alabama before there was a Voting Rights Act of 1965. Let’s listen to Vernon Jordan tell: the true story of a 92-year-old black man who registered to vote just days after passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 * * * * When that old man, dressed in his Sunday best, reached the registration official’s desk, the federal examiner asked him: “Why didn’t you ever register before?” And the old man answered “I never believed in putting 4 myself in the way of trouble-a-comin’.” He was then asked: “Why are you here now, after 92 years?” And he responded: “I am here today after 92 years ‘cause trouble ain’t-a-comin’ like it used to did.” Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Civil Rights: Revolution and Counter-Revolution, 14 Col. Human R. L. Rev. 1, 4 (1982). Thus, similar to the adverse impact of Dred Scott and Plessy, Shelby County is a harbinger from the U.S. Supreme Court that an assault on Houstonian Jurisprudence is underway and that “trouble is-a-comin'” once again.

    A Tribute to George Bundy Smith and E. Richard Larson The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) mourns the loss of the Hon. George Bundy Smith, who died Saturday August 5, 2017 and Richard Larson, who died July 22, 2017. “This month LDF lost two treasured members of our family, the Hon. George Bundy Smith, and attorney Richard Larson. Both these exceptional men represent the standard of excellence and commitment to justice that is the hallmark of LDF lawyers, and have left behind lasting contributions in the advancement of civil rights and in our profession,” said Sherrilyn Ifill, LDF’s President and Director-Counsel. Hon. George Bundy Smith George Bundy Smith was born on April 7, 1937 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Raised in a segregated neighborhood in Washington D.C., he went on to attend Yale University and Yale Law School, where he earned his law degree alongside his twin sister Inez Smith Reid. Smith followed his passion for civil rights early on, leaving law school during exams in his second year to travel to Montgomery, Alabama as a Freedom Rider. In 1961, Smith and about nine other Freedom Riders were arrested for sitting at an all-whites lunch counter. Thurgood Marshall, Lou Redding, Jack Greenberg, and Fred Gray represented Smith following his arrest, and Redding took the case all the way to the Supreme Court, where the conviction was overturned. After graduating from law school, Smith began his legal career as a staff attorney for LDF. From 1962-1964, Smith played a vital role in several prominent LDF cases.

Reid: Law, Politics and the Homeless LAW, POLITICS AND THE HOMELESS INEZ SMITH REID* I. INTRODUCTION The plight of the homeless is one of the most vexing social problems con- fronting policy makers in this country. So pervasive is this problem that it touched the 1984 presidential election, and prompted the incumbent president to make a promise concerning the establishment of a model facility for the homeless in Washington, D.C., a promise that became the subject of legal action in 1985.' Had the social problem of the homeless emerged publicly in the decade of the sixties, undoubtedly it would have been handled by President Lyndon John- son's "Great Society" and "War on Poverty," and perhaps even resolved in large measure by funding through programs such as Model Cities. Moreover, the plight of the homeless certainly would have captured the imagination and commanded the legal talents of dedicated poverty lawyers who were determined to establish a constitutional right to life, including the basics of human existence: food, shelter, and even medical care.
