The late Richard E. Westbrooks
famed civil rights attorney, was
buried Saturday, Dec. 20 in Chi
cago. Westbrooks fought cases to
end jimerow on railroad trains,
winning one of the historic cases
in the U.S. Supreme court. He
won the case for former Congress

segregation.
The Rev. Archibald J. Carey,
Jr., local alderman and a top Re

Probably the most noble trib

was “winning civil rights cases
before many of today’s civil rights

contributions helped John Mar

depression while other law schools
were failing. Westbrooks for many
