Courtroom Pioneer
Constance B. Motley was born on September 14,1921 in Connecticut. She was the ninth in a family of twelve children. She was a good student. And when she was a teenager, she decided to become a lawyer. However, her family did not have enough money to send her to college.
When she was eighteen, something happened that changed her life. One night she attended a meeting at a center for the black community. She gave a speech. She said that blacks should play a larger part in running the center. Clarence W. Blakeslee, a rich philanthropist (慈善家), was impressed by her speech. As a result, he offered to pay for her education. This helped her to reach her goal of becoming a lawyer.
She first attended Fisk University in Tennessee. Then she went to New York University and received a college degree in 1943. She studied law at Columbia University Law School and received a law degree in 1946. After she finished law school, she became a civil rights lawyer.
After almost 20 years as a lawyer, she entered politics. In 1964, she became a New York state senator (参议员). She was the first black woman to hold this office. In 1965 , she became the first woman to be president of Manhattan in New York City.
Her work came to the attention of President Lyndon Johnson. In 1966, the President named her a federal judge. She was the first black woman to serve as a judge in the US District Court. Since joining the court, she has continued to be interested in the rights of all people.
