Delayed Justice For Sale

Delayed Justice For Sale

Delayed Justice For Sale

BY ASHLEY DICKERSON

Brief Description:
The astonishing life story of Mahala Ashley Dickerson, Alabama's first black female attorney. Told simply and eloquently, it is a story of almost unbelievable courage in the face of adversity. The daughter of country schoolteachers, Mahala graduated cum laude from Fisk University. Then, at Howard Law School, she encounters some of the leading legal minds of her time, such as Thurgood Marshall, Spottswood Robinson, Howard Jenkins, James Washington, George Hayes, Willian Hastie and John Bussey. Launching her career soon afterward, she is soon setting precedents and scoring major victories in Alabama, Indiana, and Alaska.
