Path to Unity is a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Florida Bar ‘s Standing Committee on Diversity and Inclusion\, honoring attorneys in Florida who exemplify the values for The Florida Bar’s mission for equality.\n“This program is a celebration of diverse attorneys who are each trailblazers in their own right\,” Starlett Massey and Kyleen Hinkle\, co-chairs of the Pinellas County Path to Unity committee\, said in a prepared statement. “It is designed to educate lawyers and non-lawyers alike about our country’s civil rights movement. Each of these attorneys both lived and influenced the modern civil rights movement. Their stories remind us of our potential to impact positive change.” \nThe esteemed lawyers being featured in the exhibit include: \n\nJames Weldon Johnson – the first Black person admitted to The Florida Bar through an individual examination who also wrote the hymn “Lift Every Voice and Sing” in 1900 that became referred to as the Black national anthem\nAnna Brenner Meyers – the founding member and first president of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers\nJudge Mario Goderich – the first president of the Cuban American Bar Association and the first Hispanic/Cuban American to hold all of his judicial posts\nLarry D. Smith – a tireless advocate for the LGBTQ community and the first openly gay member to serve on the Supreme Court Commission of Florida\nJames Kracht – a blind and fierce advocate for blind lawyers in Florida and past president of the Florida Council for the Blind\, who helped organize The Florida Bar’s first CLE seminar about lawyers with disabilities\n\n\n \n \n \n \n James Weldon Johnson – Painting by Nicholas R.

In this case\, five amazing portraits\, of five powerful leaders\, who changed the world in positive ways.”\nCreative Pinellas is also offering a Continuing Legal Education course that aligns with the exhibit on Thursday December 8\, 2022\, from 3-5pm featuring Larry D.
