The three African Americans who have served as president of the American Bar Association will be featured in the first of a three-part webinar series titled “Black Lawyers in America: A National Town Hall Series” on July 7 from 1-2:30 p.m. EDT. Former presidents Dennis Archer, Paulette Brown and Robert Grey Jr. will be joined by current ABA President Judy Perry Martinez. Joseph K. West, partner and chief diversity and inclusion officer for the Duane Morris law firm, will serve as moderator. Register here or download a flyer. The series will examine the struggle for change and racial equity in the legal profession from the past, present and future. Following the three sessions, the ABA will release a toolkit and a Q&A framework that law firms can tailor to their needs. Dates for the other sessions have not yet been announced.
