This chapter tells the story of William Benson Bryant, a determined young man from Northwest DC who chose law school over a safe government job in 1933, despite his grandfather Charlie Wood's approval. The chapter details how Bryant, a Howard University graduate working as a laborer, turned down a secure opportunity arranged through a Black union connection. Black lawyers were rare, poorly paid, and dependent on part-time jobs or their wives' incomes, but Bryant ignored the odds and entered Howard University School of Law. The chapter outlines Bryant's path that was filled with setbacks, but his drive, intellect, and complete dedication to the law led him to become one of DC's top criminal defense attorneys. In 1957, Bryant stood before the US Supreme Court, arguing that the police had deliberately delayed his client Andrew Mallory's arraignment to force a confession.
