Though She Is A Legendary African American Figure In The Legal Community Of Washington, D.C., She Remains Largely Unknown To The American Public.Justice Older Than The Law Is Her Story, The Product Of A Remarkable, Tenyear Collaboration With National Magazine Award Winner Katie Mccabe. As A Protg Of Mary Mcleod Bethune, Roundtree Became One Of The First Women To Break The Gender And Color Barriers In The United States Military. Inspired By Thurgood Marshall And James Madison Nabrit, Jr., At Howard University Law School, Roundtree Went On To Make History By Winning A 1955 Bus Desegregation Case, Sarah Keys V. Carolina Coach Company. That Decision Demolished 'Separate But Equal' In The Realm Of Interstate Transportation And Enabled Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy To Combat Southern Resistance To The Freedom Riders' Campaign In 1961.At A Time When Black Attorneys Had To Leave The Courthouses To Use The Bathrooms, Roundtree Took On Washington'S White Legal Establishment And Prevailed. She Led The Vanguard Of Women Ordained To The Ministry In The African Methodist Episcopal Church In 1961 And Merged Her Law Practice With Her Ministry To Fight For Families And Children Being Destroyed By Urban Violence. Hers Is A Vision Of Biblical And Social Justice Older By Far Than The Law, And Her Life Story Speaks Movingly And Urgently To Our Racially Troubled Times.
