Hurdles

I heard a female judge of color give an inspiring talk to a group of students. The judge recounted how she grew up in the South where racial prejudice caused people to not view Blacks as capable of succeeding, much less succeed to be a judge. But she overcame racial prejudice and other obstacles to become a judge. So in life, there are numerous hurdles, including racial bias hurdles, but hope remains because of the stories of those who ran through and over those hurdles.
