Green becomes 2nd Black judge on Kansas Court of Appeals
Henry W. Green Jr. was sworn in as a judge of the Kansas Court of Appeals in Topeka. The 44-year-old former private practitioner from Leavenworth thanked Sherman Parks Sr. and the late Ben Franklin for paving the way, and noted the court has not had a minority member in six years. Parks, the first Black on the court, praised Green’s talent and potential influence. Green’s appointment by Gov. Joan Finney joins seven white males and two white females on the 10-member court.
