Black Women in Higher Education: School of Law

WPS 13 Law Cover

AUTHORS: Bilqis Watts Wilkerson, Bridget Warlea, Sabrina Burgess-Garrett

The Howard University School of Law (HUSL) has made a unique contribution to the women’s movement for equality and the national movement for equal justice under the law. This study aims to historicize women’s roles and contributions of women at the HUSL. It discusses the overall contribution of the Black women of Howard Law, not only to the judiciary but to society generally. Further, this study provides an exploration of the women at Howard Law to narrate an emerging vision of the Black woman as unrestricted by race, gender, or any other social, psychological, or physical limitations.
