Now retired, Barbara Phillips first worked as a community organizer in rural Mississippi. Later, as an attorney she protected and defended the civil rights of women and people of color while based primarily in Mississippi and then California. Eventually, she became a professor at the University of Mississippi Law School. In this, part one of two interviews with Barbara Phillips, she shares her stories and experiences of her 40 year legal career. In part two we discuss her opinions on how to frame the contemporary dialogue of race. When she and I visited by phone from her home in Oxford, Mississippi, on March 5, 2018, we began our conversation when I asked her to describe her experience as an intersectional black, female lawyer.
