About Elreta Melton Alexander Ralston
- Elreta Melton Alexander-Ralston (19 March 1919 - 14 March 1998) was a mid-twentieth-century black female American lawyer and judge in North Carolina at a time when there were only a handful of practising female or black lawyers in that state.
- With an unusual career as a trial attorney and District Court Judge, she has been noted for her “refusal to allow the circumstances of her birth, the realities of her time, and the limitations imposed by others define her destiny.” However, notwithstanding her accomplishments, Judge Alexander's legacy has remained largely unrecognized and her story untold.
- This confirms the notion that black women lawyers have received minimal universal recognition for their accomplishments and contributions to the legal profession.
