4 History OF CABL ORIGIN & HISTORY OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF BLACK LAWYERS The California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) has an illustrious history and lineage of courage, activism and participation in the political process. During the 1976 National Bar Association Convention in Houston, Texas, several California attorneys and judges met and discussed the need for a statewide bar organization to address issues facing black lawyers and judges in California. After that NBA Conference, a series of informal meetings were held in Northern and Southern California. After several meetings, held both in Oakland and in Los Angeles, it was decided that a statewide association should be formed and that the initial meeting should be held in Los Angeles in April. This meeting was sponsored and planned primarily by the leadership of the Charles Houston Bar Association and the John M. Langston Bar Association. They were assisted by the Black Lawyers of San Diego County (now the Earl B. Gilliam Bar Association) and the Black Women Lawyers of California. On April 23, 1977, at the Airport Marriot in Los Angeles, Robert L. Harris, President of the Charles Houston Bar Association, called the first session of this historic meeting to order. The initial bylaws of the association were adopted and thereafter several panel discussions were held on current issues. The key panel of the morning dealt with reverse discrimination. The case discussed was Bakke v. U.C. Regents, which was working its way through the judicial process at the time. Moderated by Judge Ben Travis and Judge Stanley Malone, the panel consisted of several noted legal scholars, including Elihu M. Harris, Billy Hunter, Professor Emma Jones, Professor Charles Lawrence, and Judge Robert M. Takasugi. After the luncheon address, which was delivered by Justice Wiley W. Manuel, who a month earlier had become the first Black Supreme Court Justice in California s history, the afternoon session opened with Robert L. Robertson, President of the John M. Langston Bar Association, presiding. To ensure the viability of the Association, elections were held to guide the Association into its first year of operations. Upon the nomination of Assemblyman Willie L. Brown, Jr., Donald McCullum of Oakland, California, a noted civil rights and longtime NAACP attorney,
5 was elected CABL s first president. Other officers elected were Naomi Young as Vice President - North, Ivey Dailey as Vice President - South, Irma Brown as Secretary, and John L. Burris as treasurer. Judge Ben Travis was elected Chair of the Judicial Section of CABL. The primary motivating factor for the organization s formation was to change the face of the judiciary in California and to influence the course of events pertinent to black people. The objectives and purposes included the stimulation of black lawyers in organized bar activities, to seek out and eradicate the roots and causes of racism, and to prepare the high standards of integrity, honor, and courtesy in the legal profession. Other objectives included to vigorously defend black people from those who would consciously or otherwise deny them basic human and legal rights. This historic gathering of the first statewide conference of Black lawyers and judges attracted over 200 prominent attorneys, judges, and other interested dignitaries and legal giants including the President (Carl Character of Cleveland) and the President- Elect (Mark T. McDonald of Houston) of the National Bar Association ( NBA ). Others attending included Tom Daugherty, David Cunningham, Lawrence Jones, Clinton W. White, Vince Monroe Townsend, Maxine Thomas, George Holland, Thomas Broome, Horace Wheatley, and Dan Weber, to name a few. Governor Jerry Brown and the State Attorney General also spoke at the conference. From its inception, the organization has challenged inequities in the legal system and has grown both in membership and influence. CABL continues to be instrumental in increasing the number of African-American judges throughout California. Meeting regularly with members of the State Legislature and the Governor s Judicial Appointments Secretary, CABL has been effective in its advocacy of issues facing African Americans and others of similar experience and situation. Moreover, CABL is proud to have produced six distinguished presidents of the NBA. They include Robert L. Harris (the first Californian ever to be elected an officer of the NBA), Thomas J. Broome, James O. Cole, the Honorable Allen J. Webster, Randy K. Jones and Demetrius Shelton. Today, the California Association of Black Lawyers represents 6,000 African-American attorneys, judges, law professors and students. CABL is proud of its history and the principles upon which the association was founded, and maintains a steadfast commitment to Advancing Justice and Equality.

14 Lift Every Voice and Sing Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Lift Every Voice and Sing (1900) was written by James Weldon Johnson for a presentation in celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. The music was composed by his brother and songwriting partner, J. Rosamond Johnson. The song was originally performed in Jacksonville, Florida, by children. The popular title for this work is The Negro National Anthem.

16 Benjamin Travis Lifetime Achievement Award Leo A. Branton Jr., Esq. Leo A. Branton Jr., was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in He graduated from Tennessee State College in Nashville in 1942, and earned his law degree from Northwestern University School of Law in Mr. Branton was admitted to the California Bar in June Mr. Branton s first major case was the defense of a 19 year-old black Airman who had been charged with a double murder in Riverside County. He successfully challenged the systematic exclusion of persons of color from juries, and for the first time a black person was seated. Mr. Branton s next big case involved the First Amendment when he was called upon to represent three members of the Communist Party who were charged with conspiracy to advocate the violent overthrow of the government. While all defendants were convicted in District Court, their convictions were reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The reversal practically abolished the use of the law under which these defendants had been tried. During the McCarthy Era, Mr. Branton represented many witnesses before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Mr. Branton s unprecedented trailblazing accomplishments include, he was the first lawyer, black or white, to file numerous cases against the LAPD for the excessive use of force when making arrests.

He was commended by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for his work in Virginia.

17 Bernanrd S. Jefferson Judge of The Year Honorable Otis D. Wright II United States District Court, Central District of California Judge Otis D. Wright II was born in Tuskegee, Alabama. He received his B.A. from California State University at Los Angeles in 1976 and a J.D. from Southwestern Law School in 1980 where he attended in the evenings while working as a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff. In 2002, he was elected to Southwestern s Board of Trustees. Judge Wright began his legal career as a Deputy Attorney General in the Criminal Appeals Section of the California Department of Justice. Three years later he joined the international law firm of Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman & Dicker, LLP, specialists in all matters related to insurance, where he became a partner and was a civil litigator for 22 years. During that time, he was also a volunteer attorney with the HIV AIDS Legal Services Alliance (HALSA), handling housing and employment discrimination cases as well as preparing wills for the terminally ill. In October 2005, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Judge Wright to the Los Angeles Superior Court where he was assigned to the Substance Abuse Court where he handled driving under the influence (DUI) arraignments, pre-trial, motions, and sentencing. He also monitored three drug diversion programs including the Drug Court for the Southern Region of Los Angeles. In April of 2007, the President of the United States appointed Judge Wright to the United States District Court, Central District of California. With the approval of then Chief Judge Alicemarie Stotler he spearheaded the first federal drug court in California. Because it isn t restricted solely to those with drug addictions, and differs in other significant respects from the state drug courts, it has been dubbed a Re-entry Court, S.T.A.R. Substance abuse Treatment And Reentry. It focuses on those who have been released from prison but have been placed under probation supervision for two or more years. The successful completion of the program will trim one year off of their supervision. The expectations of the program, however, are much more ambitious. In order to graduate from the program, each participant must successfully complete a drug rehabilitation program, secure stable housing in an appropriate environment, and enroll in an educational or vocational program. Efforts are underway to transform the Reentry Court to a model similar to the state drug court model. Next under consideration is diversion. Under the leadership of recently appointed United States Attorney André Birotte, Jr., efforts are underway to front-load the program, that is to divert suitable offenders from traditional trial and incarceration processes and enroll them into the program on the front end thereby saving the time and money incurred by incarceration.
