HAPPY WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH! Today we honor Marian Wright Edelman. Born June 6, 1939, in Bennettsville, South Carolina, Ms. Edelman has dedicated her life to advocating for children's rights and uplifting marginalized communities. She graduated Valedictorian from Spelman College in 1960, went to Yale Law School and was the first African American Woman admitted to the Mississippi Bar.
As the founder of the Children's Defense Fund, she has been a steadfast voice for the voiceless, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. Her unwavering commitment to justice and education exemplifies the spirit of empowerment and equality we strive to promote. We honor Ms. Edelman's remarkable contributions and draw inspiration from her enduring legacy.
