From Detroit to Stony Book, New York, the ascendance of Judge Hugh B. Clarke from a sports-loving child to a successful judge focused in criminal justice is one for the history books. Judge Clarke grew up witnessing turmoil in his community and pursued a career where he could make lasting, meaningful change.
Born and raised in Detroit, Hugh grew up with a keen love of sports and music that transformed the city at the time. Detroit’s Motown music scene was at its prime and heavily influenced Hugh during his formative years. He could often be found performing in his school’s talent shows, when he wasn’t playing baseball, of course.
Hugh B. Clarke was first exposed to the idea of criminal justice and a life of enacting positive change when he witnessed the Detroit riots directly from his porch. The events pushed him to finish his high school education at the top of his class, so he could immediately go after his dreams and be better equipped to help his community.
