Today, we would like to honor Constance Baker Motley. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, she was the first African American woman to receive a law degree at Columbia University. Additionally, she was a key part of Brown v. Board of Education, a key case in the Civil Rights Movement. Also, she became the first African American woman to be appointed as a federal 
judge in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. One of her famous quotes was “Something which we think is impossible now is not impossible in another decade”.
