Mr.. Tureaud, a 1925 graduate
of the School of Law, is a prac-
ticing attorney in New Orleans
and is considered that city's lead
ing advocate of civil rights. The
first Negro to be admitted to the
practice of law under the written
examinations, he was deputy comp
troller of customs in New Orleans
from 1927 to 1913.
National attention was focused
on Mr.. Tureaud for the first time
in 1910 when he brought to frui-
ton a law suit resulting in the
equalization of Negro and white
teachers salaries in the New Or
leans public schools. Since then,
though legal action, he has spear
headed the equalization of teachers
salaries in Jefferson Parish, 1913;
in East Baton Rouge, 1916; and
in Iberville Parish, 1916.
In recent years, Mr.. Tureaud's
focus has shifted to higher educa-
ton in the state of Louisiana. Ac-
cording to Howard Jenkins, Jr.,
associate professor Of law at How
ard, Mr.. Tureaud's suits to have
Negros admitted to the state uni
versities and his readiness to rep
resent Negroes in Louisiana's high
er courts in criminal cases with
racial overtones have served to in
spire young Negro attorneys
throughout the South.
Mr.. Tureaud will receive the
Alumni Award for achievement in
the field of law.

Achievements Awards will speak
