"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 practicing female or black lawyers in that state. With an unusual career as a trial attorney and North Carolina District Court Judge, she has been noted for her \u201Crefusal to allow the circumstances of her birth, the realities of her time, and the limitations imposed by others define her destiny.\u201D However, notwithstanding her accomplishments, Judge Alexander's legacy has remained largely unrecognized and her story untold.
