Hillary Clinton will be receiving the Barbara Jordan award tomorrow.

Hillary Rodham Clinton will receive the Barbara Jordan Public-Private Leadership Award from Texas Southern University’s School of Public Affairs and School of Law on Thursday.

Clinton will be the first recipient of this award because of her work in government and dedication to human rights activism, TSU Law School Dean Dannye Holley said in a news release.

“Awarding the first Medallion that bears Barbara Jordan’s name to Hillary Clinton is fitting because this award is geared towards recognizing the life time contributions that an American woman has made to our national public life,” Holley said in a news release.

The leadership award is given to any woman in the world who has achieved success in the public or private sector.

The ceremony will be held in the TSU Health and Physical Education Arena on Thursday at 2:30 p.m.

She has started out her campaign by reaching out to our most loyal constituencies without whom we would never or hardly never win an election at any level in any city, state, or congressional district.

I am certain you agree with me that the guardians of her legacy had that in mind when they decided to give Secretary Clinton this august award.

TSU (Texas Southern University) was highly respected and turned out some great legal minds. It was a lightning rod for Social Justice.

Further, by talking about Jordan and her place in the Congress during the Watergate hearings, my father casually explained to me the facts of racism, sexism and privilege as it functions in the US, without using any of those terms, clearly and simply.
