The Late Judge Shirley Fulton: From Picking Cotton to Duke Law
Manage episode 388125947 series 2606191
Shirley Fulton was born in the low country of South Carolina and picked cotton with her mother as a child. She graduated high school at 16 and went to an HBCU (NC A&T, Greensboro) for college and another HBCU (NCCU, Durham) for law school. The first time she set foot in a classroom with white students was when she transferred to Duke Law. There were 10 Black students there - total. She became the first Black Woman to serve as a Superior Court Judge in the history of North Carolina. She died earlier this year. It was a great privilege to hear her trailblazing story which she told with modesty and good humor.
