Hugo L. Black autographed printed page titled "Members of the Supreme Court of the United States, October 2, 1967," featuring photographs, biographical information, and signatures of all nine members of the Warren Court. Personally signed by Justice Hugo L. Black in blue ink across the center-left portion of the page.

The printed roster documents the complete United States Supreme Court as constituted on October 2, 1967, featuring the following nine justices:

Earl Warren – Chief Justice (1953–1969)
Hugo L. Black – Associate Justice (1937–1971)
William O. Douglas – Associate Justice (1939–1975)
John Marshall Harlan II – Associate Justice (1955–1971)
William J. Brennan Jr. – Associate Justice (1956–1990)
Potter Stewart – Associate Justice (1958–1981)
Byron R. White – Associate Justice (1962–1993)
Abe Fortas – Associate Justice (1965–1969)
Thurgood Marshall – Associate Justice (1967–1991)

Hugo Black's signature is an original handwritten autograph. The signatures accompanying the other eight justices are printed facsimiles reproduced as part of the original roster.

The document is particularly interesting for its October 2, 1967, date, marking the day Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court Justice, officially took his seat on the Court. This roster therefore documents the beginning of a historically significant composition of the Warren Court.

The reverse bears a PSA/DNA authentication sticker, numbered AD67837.

The printed page measures approximately 5.5 x 9 inches. Very good condition with overall age toning, some discoloration, and minor handling wear.

Hugo Lafayette Black (1886–1971) was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1937 to 1971. Appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Black served for 34 years and became one of the Court's most influential defenders of First Amendment freedoms and constitutional protections. Before joining the Supreme Court, he represented Alabama in the United States Senate from 1927 to 1937. Black played a significant role in landmark decisions including Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), and New York Times Co. v. United States (1971), helping shape modern American constitutional law.
