John Lewis,Jr. with Woman Warrior

Woman Warrior was sold Thursday during the Women Lawyers of Color Leadership Institute at the downtown Ritz Carlton in Atlanta. The proceeds from the sale benefit the group’s scholarship fund for women of color law students.

Surprisingly, the  lucky winner in a ballroom full of female lawyers and law students was John Lewis, Jr. a litigation attorney with the Coca Cola Company. The winning bid was $500.00.

I am thrilled to be able to play a small part in a young woman’s law school education.  On a more personal level, I learned a lot at the conference, and it has given me fertile new ground for my musings.

Congratulations to the Women of Color Attorneys on a very successful leadership institute.
