During the month o f February,
B lack H isto ry M onth, “Judge
Mathis” will air three in-show vi­
gnettes about some o f the many Af­
rican-Americans who helped build
this country. Judge Mathis states,
“ ...in the hearts and minds o f most
African-Americans, Black History is
celebrated every day.” These spots
focus on Justice Thurgod Marshall,
the first African-American Supreme
Court Justice; Gwendolyn Brooks, a
literary icon and trailblazer in the area
of poetry; W.E.B. Dubois, the first
African-American to earn his Ph.D.
from Harvard University and best
known for founding the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.
In addition, Judge Mathis cel­

o f the traffic light; Dr. Daniel Hale
Williams, who performed the first
open heart surgery in the U.S.; Dr.
Charles Drew for his work with the
storage and transfusion of blood;
Jackie Robinson, the legendary ath­
lete who desegregated professional
baseball; Clara McBride Hale, the
founder of the Hale House in Harlem
and Dr. Jonetta B. Cole, the first Af­
rican-American President ofSpellman
College in Atlanta.
“Judge Mathis” salutes these hon­
orable African Americans for their
contribution to African American and
American history.
Now in its second season, the
nationally syndicated television court
show, “Judge Mathis,” offers power­
ful and effective drama in the form of
real-life litigant claims. Inspired by
his own gang-to-gavel story, “Judge
Mathis” is presided over by Judge
Greg Mathis who continues to yield
his own brand o f inspirational jus­
tice. Known for running his court­
room with a no-holds-barred ap­
proach and streetwise sensibility,
Mathis often uses his life as an ex­
ample to those who appear before
