"It's not my place to like them," he says. "It's not a question of whether you like them, but a question of whether you can help them." Bricking differs from his colleagues in private practice, however, in that he is precluded from representing people who can afford his services. In fact, he can take only cases from individuals whose annual income-$8,000 a year for an unmarried adult with no depen­ dents-puts them well below the poverty level. He also can represent social-services organizations set up to address the needs of the poor. Bricking, a 53-year old transplant from Northern Kentucky, is executive director of the Legal Aid Society, an organization founded 74 years ago to provide assistance to poor people involved in civil matters. He has been with Legal Aid, which serves 14 Central Kentucky counties from the Louisville headquarters, for 24 years. While he may not as yet set any records for longevity, Bricking's tenure has been unusual. Many young lawyers burn out and By: Rachael Kamuf move to other areas of law or other professions after only a few years. (Excerpts Reprinted with Permission from Business For Bricking-whose schedule also is jammed with commitments to other civic First,]une 26, 1995) groups and social-service programs sponsored by the inner-city Roman Catholic church he attends-those two-and-a-half decades have passed in a blink. "It seems like only five years. I have slipped into a role, even with its trials and tribulations, I am comfortable with." Robert Ewald, a Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs partner and member of Legal Aid's board of directors, describes Bricking as the "heart and soul of the program. He is a very dedicated guy." . .Intense and committed are words used again and again as friends, associates­ and sometimes adversaries-try to paint a verbal portrait of Bricking. Judge Anne Shake, for example, says: "He has a dedication for the poor people of this community unlike anyone I have seen. That commitment shows in the way he lives and the professional choices he has made."

    Form No. 10-300a (Rev. 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM Historic Resources of Ashland CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8_____PAGE 3______________________ BATH AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT Statement of Significance Since the inception of the Kentucky Iron, Coal and Manufacturing Company's plan for Ashland, western Bath Avenue has been considered to be the city's most prestigious residential neighborhood. The first two houses on the street were built in 1855-56 by Hugh and John Means, prominent Ohio iron industrialists who moved to Ashland in conjunction with the Kentucky Iron, Coal and Manufacturing Company. Through the early twentieth century, property on the street was essentially reserved for local industry owners and managers who were related by family or business connections. Multiple lots continued to be held by families, and only one or two houses occupied each block in 1877, according to the Titus, Simmons Atlas map of Ashland. As a result of the slow development of the street, the neighborhood is now characterized by a diversity of architectural styles that is not seen elsewhere in Ashland. Although the neighborhood previously extended for six blocks along Bath Avenue, large-scale commercial development in the 1200 block has severed the western end of the street, and reduced the length of the coherent neighborhood to four blocks. Therefore the National Register boundary has not been extended beyond 13th Street.

Both of these anniversaries reminded many people that they came of age politically in Kentucky's Jim Crowe era. They attended de jure segregated elementary schools, and the resulting de facto segregation was not addressed for a decade after Brown v. Board of Education' was decided.
