Global Awareness Workshop, 9/22

I attended a Global Awareness workshop on the 22nd of September regarding Sonia Sotomayor. There were several guest speakers who spoke about Sonia Sotomayor’s struggle and how she came to be in the Supreme Court. The first guest speaker looked at Sotomayor in terms of women’s struggle against sexism. The second guest speaker related Sotomayor’s struggles with those of Puerto-Ricans, Hispanics, and Mexicans, and blacks in America. The third guest speaker talked about people’s expectations of Sonia Sotomayor. The workshop was very interesting to listen to because the guest speakers appeared to be very enthusiastic about their presentations and knew their material well. The speeches made me aware of the problems and injustice residing in the Supreme Court.
