I would like to thank everyone who answered regarding my question:

When was the first black attorney admitted to practice law in your state?

I received responses for Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and South Carolina.

Some of you even offered extra information (regarding judgeships or helpful
books). I appreciate that! If anyone else has another state to contribute
to my list, great!
