In
Celebration of Black History Month, this program is co-sponsored by the RCBA,
HCBA and MSBA New Lawyers Sections in Partnership with The Givens Foundation for
African American Literature
Fredrick McGhee was and is the
only major Minnesota public figure born in slavery; the first locally-famous
African American; and still the greatest of Minnesota civil rights leaders. He
made his fame as a trial lawyer, with many front-page cases, but he was also an
orator, an organizer, a writer, and a thinker ahead of his time. In the great
clash of visions between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, McGhee broke
with Washington before DuBois did. There is no one in Minnesota history quite
like Fred McGhee.
This CLE is approved for credit through April
