She not only had a front row seat to history, she was a ground-breaking participant.  And she is still breaking glass ceilings and making significant contributions to our world. Sonia Jarvis is a Yale-educated legal scholar who has blazed trails in courtrooms, in classrooms, in civil rights arenas and even basketball arenas.  She was the first Black female varsity athlete at Stanford University.   She spent years in the trenches fighting for voting rights and equality.  Today she is a Distinguished Lecturer at Baruch College in New York City. Sonia and I met on "The Farm" as undergraduates "back in the day".   We came together for this conversation to pay tribute to a fellow Stanford alum, Charles Ogletree.  Charles is an internationally revered Harvard Law professor, civil rights advocate and mentor.  Two of his most famous mentees are former President and First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama.    The friendship between Sonia and Charles spanned myriad personal and professional endeavors, many of which made national and global headlines.  From the Clarence Thomas hearings to the adoption of the South African Constitution, they shared a front row seat to history as active participants.  The backstories are extraordinary.  Lucky for us, Sonia treats us to a few as our conversation unfolds.www.ourvoicesmatterpodcast.comwww.lorellemedia.comThis podcast is devoted to empowering us all to better understand each other's differences...one story at a time.  Emmy Award-winning journalist, Linda Lorelle, guides guests through insightful, unexpected conversations that reveal our common humanity.  This show is not about politics per se; it is about finding a way to reclaim civility in the context of the contentious times in which we live, by sharing our personal and professional stories, in hopes that others might find a glimpse of themselves.Support the show
