Carter Walker Wesley

Carter Walker Wesley, a native Houstonian, attended Fisk University and Northwestern University’s Law School. He met Jasper (Jack) Alston Atkins at Northwestern and the two practiced law in Oklahoma for five years during the 1920s. After earning a large sum in the Leonard Ingram case involving oil claims, Wesley and Atkins moved to Houston and set up a law firm that included James M. Nabrit Jr. – an Omega man from Howard University. (At one time, Wesley, Richardson and Carter were business partners and owners of the Houston Informer).
