[St. Louis Beacon] Profile: Frankie Freeman led legal efforts for civil rights

Frankie Freeman, 92, became a lawyer at a time when few blacks and few women -- much less black women -- entered the profession. She dedicated herself to public service, as the lead NAACP attorney in a case that ended discrimination in public housing, a presidential appointee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and a member of numerous charitable boards. In her spare time, she enjoys a blues cruise or two. -->
