Raymond Pace Alexander : ウィキペディア英語版 | Raymond Pace Alexander Raymond Pace Alexander (October 19, 1898 - November 24, 1974) was a civil rights leader, Harvard-educated lawyer and the first African-American judge appointed to the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.〔("Pioneering Lawyer, Judge, and Civil Rights Leader: Raymond Pace Alexander" ), ''Wharton Alumni Magazine'' (Spring 2007).〕 == Background == Many accounts of the black civil rights struggle in the United States focus on the large-scale events, urban rebellions and nationwide efforts that characterized the years after the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in ''Brown v. Board of Education''.〔347 U.S. 483 (1954).〕 But, in reality, some of the most notable and influential civil rights figures were local attorneys across the country who fought racial discrimination and broke down barriers in the courtrooms and in society during the first half of the 20th century, laying the groundwork for ''Brown'' and the more well-known movement that followed. Raymond Pace Alexander is one such figure who has too often been overlooked. After graduating from Harvard Law School, Alexander opened his own firm in his hometown of Philadelphia, where he not only became one of the most prominent attorneys, but also stood at the forefront of the city’s civil rights struggle.
