Everett J. Waring (May 22, 1859 – September 2, 1914) was the first Black person admitted to the Maryland State Bar Association in 1885 and the Supreme Court Bench of Baltimore on October 10, 1885. He practiced before the Supreme Court of the United States and the Maryland State Appellate Court. He represented individuals involved in the Navassa Island riot of 1889, which occurred after African American men were lured to the island to gather guano to be used as fertilizer. The men were subject to inhumane treatment, low pay, and high cost of goods. He lost the Jones v. United States jurisdiction case and the men were found guilty.

  • Everett J.

The men were subject to inhumane treatment, low pay, and high cost of goods. He lost the Jones v. United States jurisdiction case and the men were found guilty. Waring represented the Brotherhood of Liberty. He was cofounder of the Lexington Savings Bank in 1895, a black-owned business. Waring had legal and financial troubles that led to the bank failing and equity cases filed against Waring for unpaid mortgages. As a result, he left Baltimore and returned to Ohio where he established a law practice. He later moved to Philadelphia, where he practiced law. Over his career, he was a newspaper editor and publisher as well as an African Methodist Episcopal Church minister. (en)
