Former New Jersey Justice James H. Coleman Jr., the first Black appointee, passed at 91, despite a childhood without basic utilities, embodying personal and professional achievement.
Coleman's journey from a sharecropper's family during the Great Depression to the state's highest court symbolizes resilience, determination, and dedication to service, rather than purely seeking financial success.
His innovative approach to education, studying on a plow, reflects his unwavering commitment to learning, while his desire to contribute to society beyond personal gain drove his career.
Coleman's goal was not wealth, but to serve humanity, a testament to his deep-rooted motivation and commitment to improving the lives of others.
