In the past he says that many of the elite felt their main responsibility was to shield their children from segregation and create an environment full of elite role models that they could look up to as well as giving back to their community. One member says, ‘“As educated professional black women, out most important duty is to serve as role models, mentors, and volunteers in our communities”’(Graham 125). More recently many of the the adult groups feel as though because we live in such an integrated world there is no need to join an adult group that is going to help the cause. Many women feel as though they would rather write a check than give time back into their community. Graham says “For now these women are saying, “Let me wright a check for a thousand dollars instead of asking me to volunteer my time,”’(126, Graham).

Along with participating in various Hispanic/Latina Support organizations, I additionally operated as co-editor of the Yale Law Journal, publishing law and federal articles. After graduating from Yale in 1979, with a J.D (Juris Doctor) degree in tow, I went on to work in the office of Robert Morgenthau, a famous Manhattan attorney; together, we succeeded in prosecuting everything from petty theft to homicides to child pornography charges. Five years later, I left Morgenthau’s firm and moved to a private firm in league with Pavia and Harcourt, which specialized in litigation and property rights, before divorcing Kevin Noonan in 1988.

(Roisman 2016 p. 689) Above the development of her long career in law and politics she has received over 70 awards and 8 honorary degrees from universities. Her events in the courtroom brought Motley massive gratitude. She was both feared, valued, appreciated and respected. As U.S. Congressman John Lewis remembered, "in the heart of the American South, during the early days of the Civil Rights Movement in the late 50's and 60's, there were only two lawyers that made white segregationists tremble and gave civil rights workers hope—Constance Baker Motley and Thurgood Marshall. When someone mentioned that one of them was coming to town, we knew there would be a shake-up for the cause of justice." (Wolfe 2014, p. 12) Motley credits former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall for giving her both the opportunity and the moral support she needed to succeed in the fiercely competitive judicial arena. "Lost in the shuffle may well be his personal, unique contributions to the advancement of women in the law," she wrote in a personal tribute to Marshall published. (Motley 1992, p.16) “He aided my career at a time when nobody was hiring women lawyers…. I am now a senior United States district judge, and I was the chief judge of the country's largest federal trial court from 1982 until 1986. But if it had not been for Thurgood Marshall, nobody would ever have heard of Constance Baker Motley.”(Motley 2004, p.3) Motley never lost her desire to change the world for the better. Her reputation only grew more eminent. Dedicated, loyal and committed to her work convinced of how important it was to others. Motley continued to fight cases until her death. She will be remembered as a courageous defender of righteousness. Her desired to fulfill her desire to change the world for the better was accomplished during her time and many appreciated her work. She opens the doors for many
Today, women and minorities have a wide variety of professions they can pursue; but it was not always that way. Before the Civil Rights Movement, women and minorities, especially black people, were bounded to a stereotypical or subservient role in society without the right to voice their opinions. Some, however, did take a stand to fight for equal rights against all odds. These people were called Civil Rights activists and many became leaders. Among the many famous pioneers such as Martin, Malcolm, and Angela, was a woman of great pride and honor – Shirley Chisholm. Chisholm was a civil rights leader who championed the causes of equal rights and fair treatment for both women and minorities through her determination, community involvement, and
During the 1900’s, society limited the rights of African Americans. Gwendolyn Brooks was a writer who experienced discrimination from the white population, and even African Americans who were fairer in complexion. She originally wrote about the oppression of African Americans, and their day-to-day struggles. Later on, she expanded her writings to include the struggles of African Americans everywhere. By the end of her life, she inspired thousands of young writers to write about things they’re passionate about. The impact Gwendolyn Brooks has on my life is incomparable to any other important figure I've studied. It's the steps that she took that made her a global leader and will impact my development as a global leader.
