A monument to honor former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black in his hometown of Ashland will be dedicated Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022. In this photo, Black reads congratulatory letters and telegrams in the Birmingham Federal building after his second election to the U.S. senate, where he served from 1927-37. In 1937, he was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court and served as a justice until 1971.
Early in his career as an attorney in Birmingham, Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, although he later renounced that association and championed liberal decisions on the Supreme Court, including the unanimous ruling in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 that struck down racial segregation in public schools.
On Friday, Oct. 14, a symposium on Justice Black will be held at the Cumberland Law School on the campus of Samford University at 2 p.m.
