    Date 14/08/2024

    Thank you so very much for this incredible honor, and to everyone who is here today. It really means a lot to me. I want to thank The George Washington University Law School, Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew, Associate Dean Rosa Celario and Professor Dalia Mitchell, the Law Association of Women and Gavi Kalaga and Shelby Amato, and of course the Belva Ann Lockwood Society for the very kind introductions, for this award and recognition, and for providing a forum to lift up women in law. I am grateful to you all for your commitment to telling our story and celebrating women’s achievements. It is truly humbling to be this year’s honoree for reflecting the character, determination, and attributes of Belva Ann Lockwood—GW Law’s first alumna, a suffragette and leader for women’s rights, the first woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court of the United States, and a U.S. Presidential candidate in 1884 and 1888. Undoubtedly, she accomplished all these “firsts” with both grace and grit while staying true to her values and beliefs.
