RACE LAWYERS
HELD TOO FEW

According to recent survey
and study by the school of law Of
Howard University it was found
that there are 1890 colored
lawyers in the United States as
compared to 159,379 white bar
riSterS.
The legal report pointed out
that the failure of colored people
to gain full recognition in the
courts, especially in the South, is
due to lack of an adequate num-
Der of legal representatives of
their race.
According to the report there
are four colored lawyers in Ala
bama as compared to 1894 whites.
In Georgia there are IA colored
and 2,799 white and in Missis-
Sippi six colored and 1,243 white.
In Massachusetts, there are SO
colored lawyers; Illinois, 1877, and
in New York, 100. The survey
gives a total of SO for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
