Barrington was one of the oldest surviving key organizers of the Tallahassee Bus Boycott. During the local civil rights struggle six decades ago, he used his Ford station wagon to transport black residents, normally dependent on public transportation, to get to work and other destinations.

Barrington was born in the farming community of Lloyd and received his early elementary education at Saint Rilla Missionary Baptist Church in Monticello, said one of his sons, the Rev. Kennith Barrington of Tallahassee.

In 1956, he played a critical behind-the-scenes role in the Tallahassee Bus Boycott, prompted by the arrest of Wilhelmina Jakes and Carrie Patterson after they chose to sit beside a white woman aboard a city bus.

A self-employed barber, Barrington was not beholden to threats of being fired by white bosses or being boycotted by white customers. He joined other black business owners in using their cars to shuttle people to work who normally depended on the segregated bus system.

Despite the racism he endured, Barrington was proud of his role in the construction of the Ledo-Stillwell Road, which was used to move Allied troops and supplies during the war with Japan. More than 60 percent of the 15,000 troops building the road were black.

Barrington recalled the unbearable heat reaching "120 degrees in the shade." Black soldiers were barred from rest stops enjoyed by their white counterparts. He told of suffering 11 bouts with malaria, including one incident that left him in a coma for nine days.

In September 2003, his involvement in that historic duty was captured in a research project, "WW II: African-Americans and the Ledo/Stilwell Road." It was produced by Florida A&M professor and John G. Riley House and Museum board member Geraldine Seay.

A wake service will be held 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 21, at Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. His funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 22, at Metropolitan Cathedral of Truth in Havana.
