| From: | Representative Thaddeus Kirkland |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Co-Sponsorship: KIRKLAND - Robert A. Wright Memorial Road |
| In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that would designate Concord Road (S. R. 3007) in Chester Township, Delaware County, as Judge Robert A. Wright Memorial Road. Robert A. Wright, a native of the City of Chester, broke racial barriers by becoming the first African American to serve in the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office and on the county court. Prior to becoming a judge, he served six years as an assistant district attorney. A graduate of Temple Law School, Judge Wright was appointed to the court in 1970 and was elected to his first ten year term in 1971. After a distinguished law career spanning 45 years, Judge Wright retired in 1989 and passed away on Wednesday, February 3, 2010, at Glen Mills Senior Living at the age of 90. Judge Wright will be remembered as a learned jurist who combined integrity and compassion with his strong knowledge of the law and who always reached a fair and just result. Text is attached. |
