Rochester Black Bar Association

Rochester Black Bar Association RBBA was formed to articulate and promote the needs of attorneys of color and strives to effectuate In 1994, attorneys Kendel Tyre, Jr., Don M.

Wade and Margaret Williams conceptualized an organization that would not only provide a support network for African American lawyers in the greater Rochester community, but also tap into the resources and network of the National Bar Association. The NBA, the oldest and largest national association of predominately African-American lawyers and judges, had no affiliate chapter in Rochester at that t

ime. In the fall of 1994, the vision of these attorneys was realized when the Rochester Black Bar Association was formally established. The number of diverse attorneys who live and work within the Rochester area has increased. The RBBA continues to address challenges these attorneys face by creating an environment of support for diverse attorneys in the Rochester community.

We are looking forward to celebrating with everyone on November 20th!
