African American Attorneys In Hawaii
Pacific Raven Press; 2nd edition (November 6, 2014)
African American attorneys have a lively, colorful history from Justice Thurgood Marshall to President Barack Obama, both of whom have ties to Hawaii. Daphne Barbee-Wooten tells the little known stories of some of those attorneys who broke barriers and made their impact on Hawaii's legal landscape, leaving the door open for many more to be told.
Justice for All: Selected Writings of Lloyd A. Barbee
Wisconsin Historical Society Press; 1st edition (October 30, 2017)
This collection features Lloyd A. Barbee's writings from the front lines of the civil rights movement, along with his reflections from later in life on the challenges of legislating as a minority, the logistics of coalition building, and the value of moving the needle on issues that would outlast him. Edited by his daughter, Daphne Barbee-Wooten, these documents are both a record of a significant period of conflict and progress, as well as a resource on issues that continue to be relevant to activists, lawmakers, and educators.
