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." |
