Nearly 60 years after it first opened the door to membership by blacks, the American Bar Association is poised to elect its first African-American president: former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer. Archer, 60, is running unopposed for the position of president-elect, which means he will take office as president in August 2003. He is scheduled to become president-elect nominee on Feb. 4 at the association’s midwinter meeting in Philadelphia.
A longtime player in ABA circles, Archer became chairman of Detroit’s Dickinson Wright after leaving office as mayor a month ago. He sat on the Michigan Supreme Court prior to his tenure as mayor.
