James Robinson Johnston
Author: Justin Marcus Johnston
Publisher: Halifax, N.S. : Nimbus Pub.
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
James Robinson Johnston, known as "Lawyer Johnston" to many, is an important figure in Nova Scotian history: not only was he the first Black graduate of Dalhousie University, he was the first Black graduate of Dalhousie Law School as well. This biography deals with Johnston's personal and professional life, his role as a brilliant lawyer, community man and husband. It also deals with the sensitive issue of his death at the hands of his brother-in-law, Harry Allen, which caused a scandal when it occurred in March 1915. Author and descendant Justin Johnston looks at the associated impact the death and the killer's trial had on Nova Scotia's Black community, both past and present. At the pinnacle of his career, Johnston was one of the best lawyers the province had ever seen. Unfortunately the circumstances of Johnston's death have overshadowed the significance of his life, causing this great man to be largely forgotten. This story reclaims Johnston, while examining the historical factors and racial climates that influenced this extraordinary man's life. Justin Johnston weaves family lore with history, and includes rare photographs of "the lawyer," his family and friends, as well as personal correspondence and private papers from the family vaults.

Beyond Slavery's Shadow
Author: Warren Eugene Milteer Jr.
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469664402
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
On the eve of the Civil War, most people of color in the United States toiled in bondage. Yet nearly half a million of these individuals, including over 250,000 in the South, were free. In Beyond Slavery's Shadow, Warren Eugene Milteer Jr. draws from a wide array of sources to demonstrate that from the colonial period through the Civil War, the growing influence of white supremacy and proslavery extremism created serious challenges for free persons categorized as "negroes," "mulattoes," "mustees," "Indians," or simply "free people of color" in the South. Segregation, exclusion, disfranchisement, and discriminatory punishment were ingrained in their collective experiences. Nevertheless, in the face of attempts to deny them the most basic privileges and rights, free people of color defended their families and established organizations and businesses. These people were both privileged and victimized, both celebrated and despised, in a region characterized by social inconsistency. Milteer's analysis of the way wealth, gender, and occupation intersected with ideas promoting white supremacy and discrimination reveals a wide range of social interactions and life outcomes for the South's free people of color and helps to explain societal contradictions that continue to appear in the modern United States.
