In the last 130 years, no Black woman was chosen as the president of the Harvard Law Review. Now, this finally happened.
At the end of last month, a 24-year-old named ImeIme Umana was elected as the president of their following volume, the 131st one.
Umana comes from a Nigerian family that migrated to the United States. She has three more siblings.
The Harvard publication is one of the most-cited worldwide.
In the law school, this position is the best one you can have as a student. This also comes with privileges and ensures you get a great position in the legal world.
About a half of the members of the Supreme Court have served at this publication.
Umana feels honored to receive this position. While she thinks this is magic, her colleagues think that she received the position based on her sharp mind and her ability to be a leader.
The 24-year-old is packed with a lot of skills.
The fact that she is Black is even more important, as this publication is usually ruled by white men.
Umana has her own perspective and her position will definitely bring a change in the publication. She keeps in mind other Black women’s relationships with the law.
While most of her colleagues want to get jobs in major corporations, Umana’s dream is different. She has always dreamt of being a public defender. She already has a plan for an internship this summer in Washington.
The process of picking a president was long. Each student had his portfolio evaluated rigorously.
Umana is a remarkable young woman, who has definitely made history. We are going to hear a lot about her, as her future seems bright.
