Born in Texas during 1936, Barbara Jordan, the first black congresswoman from the South, grew up during the Jim Crow Era. Barbara was known for her tenacity, determination, and oratory skills since she fought zealously for civil and human rights. Even during her youth, Barbara demonstrated her skill in public speaking by winning a national debate contest in 1952 as a high school student. She continued to hone her advocacy skills at Texas Southern University by becoming a member of a debate team. After graduating from college in 1956, Barbara finally attended her first unsegregated school, Boston University Law School, as one of only two women in her cohort.
