・・・ Black History All Year 2020 . . As the 1960s civil rights movement unfolded, she found herself involved in its activities. Wright participated in and was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia sit-ins in 1960.  These experiences made her realize that she could contribute to social progress through the study of law. She entered Yale Law School in 1960 on a scholarship and received her law degree in 1963. In 1964 Wright represented civil rights activists during the Freedom Summer voting campaign.  In the same year she was hired as a lawyer for the Child Development Group in Mississippi. After successfully lobbying for the restoration of Federal funds for the Mississippi Head Start programs, she realized she truly enjoyed fighting for children’s interests. . . In 1968 Edelman created the Washington Research Project for the Southern Center for Policy Research to lobby for, and assist, children in poverty. In 1971, Time magazine named her one of the top 200 young leaders of America. In 1973, under Edelman’s guidance, the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) was founded. It aimed to help children be healthy, stay in school, and avoid teenage pregnancy.  The CDF also worked to prevent childhood abuse and drug abuse. The organization became one of the leading national advocates for children. . . Edelman has been recognized around the world for her causes. She lectures and has written many books including: Families in Peril: An Agenda for Social Change (1987) and The Measure of Success: A Letter to My Children and Yours (1992). On August 9, 2000, President Bill Clinton awarded the Medal of Freedom to Marian Wright Edelman, the highest civilian honor available.  She has also received the Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism and a MacArthur “Genius” Award. . . #marianwrightedelman #themeasureofoursuccess #oneminute #plantatree #greatauthors #southwestern #learningisfun #changeyourmindset #childactivist #spelmancollege #spelman2020 #yale #yalelawschool (at Bennettsville, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ProTpgHHp/?igshid=1pndd5th5b3z2
