This is a remarkable story of Fredrick McGhee born into slavery who became Minnesota's first African American admitted to the Minnesota Bar in 1889. This legal pioneer established himself as a great trial lawyer, trying many high profile criminal cases in Minnesota. McGhee was also a civil rights pioneer who became a founding member of the NAACP.
