Written by award-winning author Tonya Bolden, Soul of the Court: The Trailblazing Life of Judge William Benson Bryant Sr. presents the story of Bryant’s remarkable, pioneering life in the law. Appointed to federal judicial service by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, Bryant’s 40-year tenure included cases ranging from overturning a corrupted election of the United Mine Workers and unconstitutional conditions at the DC jail. The biography draws upon an array of documents, newspaper articles, and interviews with the judge’s friends, colleagues, and family members, as well as oral histories, including Judge Bryant’s. Bolden beautifully narrates the story of a life of compassion, unparalleled integrity, and unwavering belief in the dignity of every human being. On June 18th, please join the Supreme Court Historical Society and the Historical Society for the District of Columbia for a Juneteenth conversation about Soul of the Court. The virtual panel includes: Michelle Coles, William B. Schultz, and Roger A. Fairfax Jr. (moderator). The event is free, but attendees must register here. |
