Fulton County Superior Court Judge Marvin S. Arrington Sr. doesn’t quite tell all in his new book, “Making My Mark,” but he does attempt to set the record straight on several notable episodes in a career that began in 1967 when he and U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper became the first black graduates of Emory Law School.
While Arrington has warm memories of Emory and then-dean Ben F. Johnson Jr., he has harsh words for Bill Campbell, the imprisoned former mayor who beat him in the “evil game” of politics, Arrington says, by exploiting class and race tensions in the 1997 race for mayor. Arrington also expresses his disappointment in former Mayor Maynard Jackson, who he says “used” him.
