June 17, 1897 

James Weldon Johnson was the first African American admitted to the Florida Bar Exam since Reconstruction. 

He was also the first African American in Duval County to seek admission to the state bar. In order to receive entry Johnson underwent a two-hour examination before three attorneys and a judge. He was also a writer/poet and the co-author of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” also known as the Black National Anthem. 

IT'S A CELEBRATION:
