Making My Mark: The Story of a Man Who Wouldn't Stay in His Place
by
Marvin S. Arrington Sr. (Author)
(Hardcover - Mar 2008) Lawyer, judge, public servant, trailblazer: these
are only a few words to describe the remarkable accomplishments of the Honorable
Marvin S. Arrington Sr., of Atlanta,
Georgia. This autobiography is a testament of what happens when hard work
and perseverance meet tenacity and optimism. It’s the story of a dedicated
man, born in a segregated South who went on to break down racial barriers
and build walls of inclusion and harmony. Judge Arrington was the first
African American to become partner
at an Atlanta law firm and then, later, established one of the largest and
most successful minority law firms in the country. In 1969, through his
own hard work and determination, Arrington became the youngest person ever
elected to the
Atlanta Board of Aldermen, which
later became the
Atlanta City Council. During Judge
Arrington’s nearly thirty-year tenure on the
Atlanta City Council, he served
as city council president numerous times and remained fiercely devoted to
being a voice for the voiceless: the elderly, the disadvantaged, the homeless,
and others. Marvin Arrington's life and the history of the
City of Atlanta have been inextricably
intertwined for the last six decades. In fact, almost all of the individuals
that have shaped Atlanta as it transitioned from a provincial segregated
town into an international city have at some point crossed Atlanta's favorite
native-born son. Arrington's
Making My Mark is an illuminating behind-the-scenes account of the
New South's emergence and a frank account of personal triumph against the
odds by a ground-breaking Atlanta lawyer. |
