Philadelphia Dentist John S. Rock became a medical doctor and attorney in 1865 and was the first African American lawyer to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court. In 1850, he was also an abolitionist and civil rights activist. In that year, 25-year-old Rock gave a speech in neighboring New Jersey where he called upon the state’s white residents to treat the “disfranchised portion of the legal tax-payers” of the state fairly by extending to them the right to vote.
