OK, it breaks down like this:\n\nIn 1904, George Poage became the first "black runner" to win an Olympic medal, a bronze in the 400 metres hurdles, but on the same day Joseph Stadler became the first "black athlete to win an Olympic medal", with a silver in the standing high jump behind the great Ray Ewry. \n\nMany sites still list Poage as being the first...

I'm black and i agree, it just shows that we all are mixed up to define justice and become one. you can't punish people of today because of what our history did 400 years ago.

I suspect that you are referring to Oliver Wendell Holmes and his noted approach to the law its roots in the Common Law, and the judges’ role in Common Law evolution.  Following are some words about that book and more detail is available at the source link:.  \n\nIn 1881 Holmes published "The Common Law," based on the Lowell Lectures he had delivered the year before. Though more praised than read, the book is unique in being simultaneously a history of the common law of England and America, a theory of why it had evolved as it had, and a philosophy of what law is.\n\nIf the legal systems of Europe based on Roman law are like the French language, all codified by some Academy and with, in principle, a right answer to every stylistic question, the common law of England grew up rather like the English language. Some authorities were more prestigious than others and there were general points on which everyone could agree, but the common law, like the language of the people who lived under it, allowed for numerous decision-makers and incremental innovations, which might survive in practice or be rejected. Judges made the common law, basing their opinions on the opinions of other judges, citing principles so ancient that the memory of man ran not to the contrary. Even today, when most important areas of law have been summarized in civil and criminal codes, still the codes usually just adopt one or another set of common law rules. And when judges in common law countries interpret those statutes, they look first to the opinions of other judges rather than at the text itself.

I'm having trouble finding that exact information. This might help, though: \n\nThe first known Black college graduate was in 1816, at the University of Vermont. This is from a book called "Black Firsts", which is in the Cleveland Public Library. So your person definately graduated after 1816. \n\nFrom what I can tell about the southern US, the first blacks were allowed into higher education at either Howard University, Morehouse College, or the Fisk School. The Fisk School was established in 1866, in Nashville. In 1867, it was incorporated as Fisk University, and was then able to grant university degrees. Howard University was founded in 1867, in Washington, D.C. Morehouse was founded in 1867 in Augusta, Georgia (it was first named the Augusta Institute). \n\nSo, the first black college student in the south likely entered the Fisk School, which later became Fisk University. But since it wasn't actually a degree-granting university until 1867, you could also argue that the first person may have come from Howard or Morehouse. \n\nYou may be able to find more if you check their websites. \n\nI've also included an interesting link for you, below:

lived from 1885-1941.\n\nNovember 9: Story 1  After listening to brief arguments yesterday afternoon Justice Childs in Special Term dismissed the habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Anthony C. Woeckener against Frank C. Bostock to get possession of his wife, Chiquita, the doll lady. William J. Creamer represented Bostock and Eugene M. Bartlett appeared for Chiquita's boy husband.\n\nAs soon as the writ was dismissed, and before Mr. Bostock could leave the court house, papers were served on him in a suit for $20,000 damages brought by Woeckener for Bostock's action in separating him from his wife. At the same time an order of arrest for Mr. Bostock, as an incident to this civil action, was prepared for the purpose of insuring his presence at the trial. This order of arrest was served by Deputy Sheriff Bates and later Mr. Bostock furnished bail in the sum of $1000 and was released. \n\nAll I could find about him lol.
