A beautiful testament to a man who refused to accept the limitations that society attempted to place on him because he was born Black in Georgia during Jim Crow to a single mother whose family fled to DC to escape racial terror. He defied the odds to become a successful lawyer who shaped Supreme Court precedent, chief judge of the DC federal court, and an important reminder that your circumstances need not define you.--Michelle Coles, author of Black Was the Ink In this splendid biography, Tonya Bolden tells the story of the remarkable life of an African American man who grew up in segregated Washington, DC, was one of the best trial attorneys in the city, and then became one of the great jurists of our time.

Synopsis
Legal legend Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer once stated that there were ""only two people in the world who really understood the Constitution"" and its impact on American lives. One was Hugo Black, deceased Supreme Court justice. The other was William Benson Bryant Sr. (1911-2005), who in the early 1950s became the first Black assistant US attorney to ......, Legal legend Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer once stated that there were ""only two people in the world who really understood the Constitution"" and its impact on American lives. One was Hugo Black, deceased Supreme Court justice. The other was William Benson Bryant Sr. (1911-2005), who in the early 1950s became the first Black assistant US attorney to try cases in Washington, DC's federal court, and became that same court's first Black chief judge in 1977. Written by award-winning author Tonya Bolden, this biography presents the story of Bryant's remarkable, pioneering life in the law-one that began in a segregated DC and included many years as an extraordinary criminal defense attorney, most notably as the dogged defender of Andrew Mallory, a young poor Black man sentenced to the electric chair for the 1954 rape of a white woman. Bryant fought for Mallory's life all the way to the US Supreme Court, chiefly on the grounds that Mallory's confession-the most damning evidence against him-was the fruit of an illegal detention. The High Court overturned Mallory's conviction. Mallory v. United States was among the cases that culminated in the landmark 1966 Miranda rule. Appointed to federal judicial service by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, Bryant's forty-year tenure included cases ranging from overturning a corrupted election of the United Mine Workers and unconstitutional conditions at the DC jail. The biography draws upon an array of documents, newspaper articles, interviews with the judge's friends, colleagues, and family members, as well as oral histories, including Judge Bryant's. Bolden beautifully narrates the story of a life of compassion, unparalleled integrity, and unwavering belief in the dignity of every human being., Legal legend Judge Louis F.

Two weeks for a book is unacceptable. Will use an alternative vendor in the future unless time is not an issue. The book is new and as described. They need to work on the delivery and need to investigate the delay in getting the book to the USPS.
