About Us
In contemporary times, African American lawyers in North Carolina have organized to advance the cause of justice for Black People. Today’s North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers traces its roots to the North Carolina Lawyers Association organized in Durham in 1954. The Constitution of that organization was adopted on June 12, 1954.
