Diversity claim

The Diversity section categorizes the "Judge Joe Brown" TV show as a ["courtroom television series"] and then refers to Brown as "first African American person to preside over a long-running courtroom series" however the courtroom television show article defines these shows as both the binding arbitration format of the Judge Brown show, but also includes courtroom dramas and other types of fictional court shows. If that is the case, then the court dramatization [Superior Court] which ran from 1986 to 1990 plus reruns featured [African American actor Raymond St. Jacques] as Judge Clayton C. Thomas for two seasons and certainly came first.Zamboorg (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:29, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The more serious facts left out, for some reason, about the Judge pre-Television

Judge Joe Brown Education Brown graduated from Dorsey High School as valedictorian, then went on to UCLA to get a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1969 and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) in 1973. Brown worked as a substitute teacher while in law school. He is a member of the fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha.

Judge Joe Brown Career Brown was the city of Memphis’ first African-American prosecutor. He would eventually create his own law firm before serving as a judge on Shelby County’s State Criminal Court. While presiding over James Earl Ray’s final appeal of his conviction for the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Brown was catapulted into the national limelight. Former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney said that Brown assured her and the Congressional Black Caucus unequivocally that the so-called murder rifle was not the weapon that murdered Martin Luther King Jr. Brown was removed from the reopened investigation of King’s death owing to apparent bias. Judge Brown attracted the attention of the Judge Judy producers during this time. Brown won the Democratic primary for district attorney of Shelby County in March 2014. After making comments regarding her sexuality, he lost the general election to Republican incumbent Amy Weirich by a margin of 65 percent to 35 percent. 2600:1700:95A0:F170:C900:4787:8471:CF3C (talk) 20:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
