for this week
goes to:
The Big Black politician, abolition activist,
and diplomat Man who was first Big Black
to qualify as a lawyer in the U. S. when
he passed the Ohio Bar in 1854 after
'reading the law' and apprenticing, and he
was the founding Big and Beautiful Dean
of Howard University School of Law from
1869-1876 (which was the first Big Black
Law School established in the U. S. and
he helped to establish it), plus he was
selected to diplomatically represent the
U. S. on the island of Hispaniola by serving
as the U. S. Minister Resident to Haiti
from 1877 to 1885 and to the Dominican
Republic from 1884-1885, the he became
the 1st President of Virginia Normal and
Collegiate Institute from 1885 to 1887,
then in 1890 he was one of the first Big
Blacks to be elected in 1888 to the U.S.
House of Representatives from Virginia's
4th district serving from from 1890 to 1891,
and he was coauthor of
the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which was
handily used as blueprint used for the
Civil Rights Act of 1965, but can you believe
that after1908, Confederate states passed
constitutions that excluded Big Blacks from
holding any office until 1973 after the federal
Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed,
and after that we could have representative
voting again in those states,
plus he had so many other achievements,
and we give flowers and say the name of...
...John Mercer Langston!
Black Legal History Month,
observed in December every year,
was founded by Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.
in 2025 to cherish, honor, and show
much love to the Black Men and Black
Women Law School Graduates
who helped and continue to
help Our Beautiful People navigate the
legal systems the world over as barristers,
attorneys, judges, magistrates,
government advisors, mediators,
corporate counsel, litigators,
public interest representatives,
estate planning advocates, helpers
with immigration issues, and in other
capacities, all in a glorious effort to
obtain righteous justice, redress, compensation,
reparations, injunctive relief, rescissions,
remedies, and restitution for crimes,
unlawful/illegal acts, damages incurred,
fraud, unethical breaches, conspiracies
committed, and other defects, to make
aggrieved parties approach a
dignified wholenesss again.
