W. L. Mhoon, also known as William L. Moon (1879–1950), was an American lawyer and politician in Jackson, Mississippi.
[6] He reportedly appeared white, but did not try cases in court himself due to limitations imposed on the few black lawyers working in Mississippi.
[7] By 1944, Mhoon was one of two African American lawyers in the state, the other being Taylor G. Ewing of Vicksburg.
[2] His wife filed a slander lawsuit in 1941 against Dr. A. H. McCoy after an article in Percy Greene's newspaper, The Jacksonville Advocate.
[11] After Mhoon's death in 1950, his widow Annie married Buddy Baldwin Dansby, the fourth president of Jackson State University.
