Welcome to the
D.W. PERKINS
BAR ASSOCIATION
Serving the Jacksonville, FL area since 1968.
OUR MISSION
The African-American experience has historically been fraught with exclusion and denial of meaningful participation in the positive aspects of American life. Unfortunately, the vestiges of racial discrimination have continued to manifest themselves in many of the institutions which affect the lives of the entire citizenry. The Daniel Webster Perkins Bar Association, Inc. was named after the great pioneer, D.W. Perkins, who was one of the first African-Americans to practice law in Duval County. Its mission and purpose continues to be that of a change agent to improve the plight of the African-American Community and to combat the effects of racial and social injustices.
