Historie |
- Art began his life-long commitment to civil rights when he was one of six officers leading an all-black company of enlisted men in the then-segregated Army. He and his soldiers were preparing for the invasion of Japan in August 1945 on the island of Okinawa, when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
Art was a leading civil rights leader in Muskegon County. Art also volunteered to be appointed by the court to represent black citizens charged with serious felonies, in an effort to bring justice to the wrongly accused. He achieved victory for over a dozen innocent defendants in first-degree murder trials. In 1968, Art joined the law firm of Parmenter, Forsythe and Rude, and in 1970 he was inducted as a Fellow into the nationally prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers.
