The Fred G. Minnis, Sr. Bar Association is named after the first African-American full-time lawyer in Pinellas County, Florida. Born in 1912, Fred G. Minnis, Sr. began practicing law in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1956 and was often known as the “grandfather” of African-American lawyers in Pinellas County. Today, the association serves as a means to protect the civil rights of the historically disadvantaged in the community and promote the integrity of the legal profession as well as mentoring aspiring law professionals.
