William Henry Hastie, A Legal Trailblazer Friday, February 19, 2021 February is Black History Month. The commemoration began as Black History Week in 1926, the brainchild of historian Carter G. Woodson. President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling on the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” For Black History Month this year, we focus on Judge William Henry Hastie, whose life and accomplishments shine as an example of what Professor Woodson had in mind. Hastie is a giant in American history: an architect of the strategy that ultimately ended legal segregation; the first African American to serve as a federal judge in a District Court; and the first African American to serve on a federal Court of Appeals. Still, he rarely receives the recognition he deserves.
