摘要

本文探讨了亚瑟·加菲尔德·海斯和大部分犹太律师在解除美国律师协会禁止非裔美国人成为会员的禁令中所起的作用。由于美国律师协会对待非裔美国人申请人弗朗西斯·里弗斯(Francis Rivers)的方式不当,这些律师公开从该组织辞职,并鼓励其他人这样做,使有色人种歧视成为媒体关注的一个公共问题。虽然20世纪30年代末的早期努力失败了,但第二次世界大战促成了活动家们在20世纪40年代初运动的成功,因为反对纳粹种族主义的斗争已经开始削弱美国的种族实践。1943年8月,美国律师协会改变了之前将非裔美国人排除在外的录取程序。其他法律专业组织也很快效仿。因此,法律职业重新塑造了自己,成为二战后出现的自由秩序的一部分。

Race and Relevance: Arthur Garfield Hays and the Integration of the American Bar Association, 1938-1943
This article explores the role of Arthur Garfield Hays and mostly Jewish lawyers in dismantling the American Bar Association’s prohibition of African Americans becoming members. By publicly resigning from the organization and encouraging others to do so over the ABA’s treatment of African-American applicant Francis Rivers, these lawyers made the color bar a public issue in the press. While earlier efforts in the late 1930s had failed, World War II contributed to the success of the activists’ campaign in the early 1940s, as the struggle against Nazi racism had begun to undercut American racial practices. In August 1943 the ABA changed its procedures governing admission that had previously functioned to exclude African-Americans. Other legal professional organizations soon followed its example. Thus the legal profession refashioned itself into part of the liberal order emerging in the wake of World War II.
