Constance Baker Motley
The daughter of Caribbean immigrants in New Haven, Constance Baker Motley wrote the original complaint in Brown v. Board of Education while still a young NAACP Legal Defense Fund attorney. She argued ten landmark civil rights cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and won nine, becoming the first Black woman to argue there, and personally represented Martin Luther King Jr., the Freedom Riders, and James Meredith. In 1966 President Johnson appointed her to the Southern District of New York, making her the first African American woman federal judge, and she later served as its Chief Judge.
