James B. McMillan
Dr. James B. McMillan was born in Aberdeen, Mississippi, on January 14, 1917. After a stint in the military and years of medical school, McMillan arrived in Las Vegas in the summer of 1955 with the intent of serving the Las Vegas community as Nevada's first black dentist. He became the president of the local branch of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which soon gave him statewide recognition for the successful quest to desegragate the town. He was the first Nevada dentist to introduce and perform dental implants. Governor Mike O'Callaghan appointed him to the Nevada Board of Dental Examiners in 1971.
McMillan is most remembered for fighting successfully for the integration of public accommodations in the city of Las Vegas and on the famed "Strip" in 1960. Dr. McMillan, serving as NAACP president, was going to organize a march on the Strip if blacks were not allowed to enter the front doors of the hotels. Later, he also organized another march and boycott, prompting Strip and downtown casino operators to agree to hire black employees in positions other than as porters and maids. It was McMillan's passion for equal rights and his mental toughness that allowed the city to be integrated well before the national legislation in 1964 and 1965.
As NAACP president, Dr. McMillan ordered research into the establishment of a local Black Chamber of Commerce. He later served as president of the chamber. In addition to several stints as the leader of the local NAACP, McMillan served as a member of the Clark County School Board Trustees from 1992 to 1996. He was founder of the Las Vegas Human Rights Commission and was the first black to serve on the State Democratic Central Committee. As an active lobbyist for equal black representation, he advocated better housing, employment, transportation of seniors, and overall better treatment of and for minorities locally and statewide. His massive voter registration drives, instituted under the auspices of the NAACP, encouraged blacks to vote in order to bring about enlightened legislation. Dr. McMillan had a life totally devoted to challenging the discriminatory practices of the city of Las Vegas and the racial policies of the entire state of Nevada.
