Ann C. Williams, first African American woman to serve on the Seventh Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals

"I urge each and every one of you to carry that spirit of service and commitment to others to make the world a better place, whether you work inside the home raising your children or outside the home pursuing a career or some combination of both.

Remember the power of one and that you are a woman who can change the world, in the little ways that you treat the people you deal with on a daily basis making sure there is fairness and justice in the world when you see slights, or in the big picture."
