Aaron Alpeoria Bradley
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley was an early African-American lawyer born into slavery.〔E. Merton Coulter, "Aaron Alpeoria Bradley. Georgia Negro Politician during reconstruction times, Part II", ''The Georgia Historical Quarterly'', Vol. 51, No. 2, 154-174 (June 1967).〕 Bradley never divulged his age, but some speculate that he was born around 1815.〔 He died in 1881.〔Phyllis Phillips, ''Who Is She…: The Very Real Life of Lucy Pickens'', AuthorHouse, 2011, p. 265.〕 Bradley was among the very few African Americans admitted to the bar before the American Civil War.〔''University of Pittsburgh Law Review'', Vol. 56, pp. 107, 108-109.〕 This list includes others such as Robert Morris in Massachusetts, 1847; George Boyer Vashon〔Catherine M.Hanchett, ("George Boyer Vashon, 1824-1878: Black Educator, Poet, Fighter for Equal Rights, Part Two" ), ''The Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine'', Vol. 68, No. 4 (October 1985).〕 in New York, 1848; John Mercer Langston in Ohio, 1854; and C. Clayman Morgan in Louisiana, approximately 1860.〔
Apart from his skills as an attorney, Bradley operated a shoe store in Augusta, Georgia, for a short time.〔Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas, ''The Secret Eye: The Journal of Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas, 1848-1889'', University of North Carolina Press, 1990, p. 321.〕
==Early career==
In 1856 Bradley became the third African American admitted to the Massachusetts Bar.〔J. Clay Smith. ''Emancipation: The Making of The Black Lawyer, 1844-1944'', University of Pennsylvania Press, 1993, p. 191.〕 He moved to Savannah, Georgia, in 1865. In 1867 he applied for admission in United States District Court in Georgia as part of the carpetbagger movement.〔 Due to the anti-black socio-political culture of the time, as well as Bradley’s confrontational activism against racial injustice, he was denied admission.〔 Judge John Ersking cited that the basis for Bradley’s rejection was that he was not grounded in the “first principles” of law, and lacked “moral and mental qualifications.”〔 Despite many efforts to gain admittance, Bradley was never allowed to legally practice law in this jurisdiction.〔J. Clay Smith (1993), p. 94.〕 But he was defiant, and practiced law in Georgia without a license until 1875.〔 He eventually moved to Beaufort, South Carolina, where he continued to practice law and serve his Georgia clients.〔
