Join us for a celebration and historic dedication for George B. Vashon.

George, who grew up largely in Pittsburgh, became the first Black graduate of Oberlin College and the first Black lawyer admitted to the New York Bar.  George was an educator and poet, and he contributed regularly to Frederick Douglass’ North Star publication.

He was denied admission to the Pennsylvania Bar due to his race, but in 2010, his great-grandson, Nolan N. Atkinson Esq.-- then chief diversity officer, City of Philadelphia, and 1967 graduate of the Howard University School of Law -- successfully petitioned to have George B. Vashon posthumously admitted to the Pennsylvania bar.
