Styles Hutchins
Styles Linton Hutchins (November 1, 1852 – September 7, 1950) was an attorney, politician, and activist who was active in South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee between 1877, the end of Reconstruction, and 1906, at the height of Jim Crow. Hutchins was among the last African Americans to graduate from the University of South Carolina School of Law in the brief window during Reconstruction when the school was open to Black students, and then the first Black attorney admitted to practice in Georgia. He practiced law and participated in local politics in Georgia and Tennessee, served a single term (1887-1888) in the Tennessee General Assembly as one of its last Black members before an era of entrenched white supremacy that lasted until 1965, and advocated for the interests of African Americans
