Talk:Ian Richards (judge)

Untitled
Richards' notability is not questionable. Florida along with Broward County was part of the deep south which had harsh slavery, segregation, a history of withholding the right to vote for blacks, and brutal repression of blacks by whites. There is a particular history of violence regarding black voting in Florida. Therefore, being the first African American to be elected Judge countywide is a significant mile stone. Not to mention being featured internationally as a judge for coming to the aid of a domestic violence victim caught on camera in open court. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrowardPeople (talk • contribs) 18:51, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
