Earl B. Dickerson (1891–1986) was a prominent African American attorney, community activist and business executive who successfully argued before the U. S. Supreme Court in Hansberry v. Lee. ==Early life== Earl Burrus Dickerson was born on June 22, 1891 in Canton, Mississippi, the son of Edward and Emma Garrett Fielding Dickerson. His maternal grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Garrett, was born a slave and, before the Civil War ended, purchased himself and his wife, Eliza Montgomery, out of slavery. Earl's father died in 1896 and Earl was raised by his mother, his mother's mother, Eliza, and a half-sister from his father's first marriage, Gertrude.〔Dingwall, Christopher; Rachel Watson "( Guide to the Earl B. Dickerson Papers )", Chicago Public Library, ''Mapping the Stacks'', accessed September 3, 2011.〕 Dickerson first moved to Chicago in 1907 and spent most of the next 10 years there, graduating from a University of Chicago-sponsored prep school in 1909. He married Inez Moss in 1912 (a marriage which ended in divorce in 1927)〔 and earned a B.A. from the University of Illinois in 1914. During his time spent studying at the University of Illinois, Dickerson helped establish the Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.〔〔.〕 Dickerson's legal studies were interrupted by World War I when he enlisted in the U. S. Army. He became a lieutenant and served in the American Expeditionary Forces in France. After the conclusion of the war, Dickerson became a founding member of the American Legion and personally organized the George L. Giles Post 87 in Chicago. Returning to the University of Chicago, Dickerson completed his legal studies in 1920, becoming the first African American to earn a doctorate of law degree there.〔〔 The University of Chicago Black Law Students Association is named in his honor.〔http://uchicagoblsa.weebly.com/history.html〕
