Nation's 1st black woman judge Dies....
Nation's 1st black woman judge
Jane Bolin also was pioneer at Yale Law, New York Bar Association.

NEW YORK - Jane Bolin, whose appointment as a family court judge by Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1939 made her the first black woman in the United States to become a judge, died on Monday in Queens. She was 98 and lived in Long Island City, Queens.
Her death was announced by her son, Yorke B. Mizelle.
Bolin was the first black woman to graduate from Yale Law School, the first to join the New York City Bar Association, and the first to work in the office of the New York City corporation counsel, the city's legal department.
In January 1979, when Bolin had reluctantly retired after 40 years as a judge, Constance Baker Motley, a black woman and a federal judge, called her a role model.
In her speech, Motley said, "When I thereafter met you, I then knew how a lady judge should comport herself."
The "lady judge" was frequently in the news at the time of her appointment with accounts of her regal bearing, fashionable hats and pearls. But her achievements transcended being a shining example. As a family court judge, she ended the assignment of probation officers on the basis of race and the placement of children in child-care agencies on the basis of ethnic background.
Bolin was born on April 11, 1908, in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Her father, Gaius C. Bolin, was the son of an American Indian woman and an African-American man. Her mother, the former Matilda Emery, was a white Englishwoman.
Jane Gaius Bolin, who was the first black graduate of Williams College, had his own legal practice and was president of the Dutchess County Bar Association. His daughter grew up enamored of his shelves of leather-bound books on the law. But her comfortable girlhood was profoundly shaken by articles and pictures of lynchings in Crisis magazine, the official publication of the NAACP.
"It is easy to imagine how a young, protected child who sees portrayals of brutality is forever scarred and becomes determined to contribute in her own small way to social justice," she wrote at the time of her retirement in December 1978.
She attended Wellesley College, where she was one of two black freshmen. They were assigned to the same room in a family's apartment off campus, the first instance of many episodes of discrimination.
At her graduation in 1928, she was named a Wellesley Scholar, a distinction given to the top 20 students of the class. When she broached the subject of a law career to a guidance counselor, she was told that black women had little chance. Her father also discouraged her at first.

At Yale Law School, Bolin was one of three women in her class and the only black person.
In an interview with The New York Times in 1993, she said that a few Southerners at the law school had taken pleasure in letting the swinging classroom doors hit her in the face. One of those Southerners later became active in the American Bar Association and invited her to speak before his bar group in Texas. She declined.

After graduation, she practiced for a short time with her father in Poughkeepsie. She then married a lawyer, Ralph E. Mizelle, and the two practiced in New York. He died in 1943. In 1950, she married Walter P. Offutt Jr., a minister; he died in 1974. In addition to her son, she is survived by a granddaughter and a great-granddaughter.
In 1937, six years after her Yale graduation, she applied for a position in the New York City corporation counsel's office. An assistant there was initially dismissive, but the counsel, Paul Windell, hired her on the spot. She was assigned to Domestic Relations Court, renamed Family Court in 1962.
On July 22, 1939, she was told that La Guardia wanted to see her. She worried that she was going to be reprimanded. Instead, she was sworn in as a judge. The ceremony made news around the world. In an interview with The New York World-Telegram the next day, she said she hoped to show "a broad sympathy for human suffering," adding, "I'll see enough of it."
In 1958, speaking on women's rights, she said, "We have to fight every inch of the way and in the face of sometimes insufferable humiliations."
No need to come out of the CLOSET when....

Say it aint so BARRY!!
I've tried to defend and support you through all the 'steroid' talk and accusations...but to blame a teammate for you getting a POSITIVE test for speed...wow ...Sorry Bruh...just can't support you anymore, Unless there's some kind of REAL explanation for all this hmmmmm
250 million for 5 years?? WTF?
Soccer 'star' David Becham has just signed a contract with the LA GALAXY of Major League Soccer for 200 million over 5 years ..wow...then his joker says it's NOT about the money, but about making the sport more popular and played in by youth here in America....yeah ok ....200 million wow just think how far that could go to help teachers, social workers and or ESPECIALLY the students in LA.....HMMMMWeapon of mass DISTRACTION?
With ALL the problems in the world including war in Iraq, LARGE swaths of ice falling off the North Pole (Due to Global Warming), AIDS in Africa, and Chaos in the Middle East among other things...Isn't it NICE to have RAGS like these to keep us DISTRACTED? hmmmm
The 'TRUTH' about SNOOP...
Let's face it folks, Snoop has a problem, he's been caught SEVERAL times in air trying to get on airplanes WITH weed....Maybe It's Just Me but if you get caught more than ONCE with weed or any other CONTROLLED substance on your person...that's a problem...weed or not...hope he's in rehab....BUT I DOUBT IT!! hehe
Anybody Watchin?
The 'new' reality show about now FORMER NBA basketball player and wife Doug and Jackie Christie: Committed-The Christies?
This show 'examines' the relationship and marriage between these two. On the surface Doug seems like a P-WHIPPED fool and Jackie a controlling and possessive twit but I have mixed views about the show, which comes on BET J Tonite at 10pm (est). I mean hey, they are BOTH grown people and whatever works for them ya know? Yet I KNOW I couldn't marry a woman like that but hey to each his own...

Rev. Al Hair Watch update...
Ok I'm sitting up here watching the Reverend Al Sharpton on New York One(A Newshow here in NYC) and he's (((still))) wearing that damn PERM...booooooo !! He said that when James Brown passed he would STOP wearing it.....smh...Maybe It's Just Me but who in the hell would vote for A BLACK MAN with a PERM for President?
Maybe It's Just Me BUT.....
I have an EXTRA appreciation of Erykah, after watching this clip ...whoa...
Could this mean PEACE in the MIDDLE EAST?
Exiled Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said today that the existence of Isreal is a REALITY and that the only problem is that the Palestinian state doesn't. The acknowledgement of Isreal's existence in itself along with a bonified Palestinian state can be a HUGE stepping toward a lasting PEACE thoughout the entire region....Well um maybe not in Iraq or Afghanistan as long as U.S. forces are there hmmmmm but hey this is a decent development...
Kanye in HBO REALITY SHOW?
Yep it's true!! Kanye West will be on a reality show on HBO. The show will focus on his 'hectic' life...I think this may actually be a good show. I'm still a HUGE fan because despite his HUGE and sometimes outta control ego, the brotha speaks TRUTH about what's going on in America and the world, much more than the average 'rapper'
DUDE, IT'S ((NOT)) ABOUT THE TROOPS..
Tonite 'W', will give a speech about Iraq, requesting to send 20, 000 or more troops to the country. Most people in the country are now against the war and will SURELY be against this plan for a troop 'surge'.
Maybe It's Just Me but this war is something that can NOT be fixed with any new amount of troops sent over there. 20,000 may help prevent some of the violence over but it will surely add to it as well.

The fight over there is now between Sunni and Shiite.
Sure Bush and crew 'broke' Iraq but he can't fix it. The invasion of this country opened up a can of worms and the only losers are Iraq's and after the U.S. finally leaves things will only get worse, but if they stay only the U.S. will only lose more troops. Damn if you don't damn if you do.....This among other things just goes to show that 'W' is TRULY Worst President Ever!!

I Kidd You NOT! Jason now claims his wife BEAT him! Files for Divorce
In more surreal news from the world of sports and priviledge, New Jersey Nets basketball star Jason Kidd has filed for divorce claiming that his wife is physically and mentally abusive. Kidd claims 'extreme' cruelty in his suit and wants a restraining order against Joumana-his wife. Kidd also says she has interfered with his relationship with his children. There allegedly was even a incident in December when Joumana used TJ to gain access to the NETS locker room while Kidd was in a game, where she rummaged through his personal belongings. After supposedly finding several phone numbers of other females in his cellphone , Joumana left TJ in the locker room and went out to her seat in the arena and began shouting obscenities at Kidd, among other things.The Kidd's also have two daughters.
Hmmmmm, I've personally heard about this chick and know Kidd's 'other' son, who he had BEFORE even meeting his curent wife. I heard she was controlling and didn't want Kidd to have a relationship with his son, so I'm inclined to believe some of this. As for the 'abuse' hmmm not too sure. If she's 'crazy' enough to try to block his relationship with his children anything is possible though. Seems like both of em are a little twisted though and they probably need to split sad to say....Stay Tuned, I'm sure there's more drama to follow.....
