Honoring the life and legacy of a trailblazing civil rights activist Sadie T. M. Alexander was the first Black woman to graduate from Penn Law, and made her mark on law, economics, and government.
During Black History Month, The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School (Penn Law) is paying tribute to the legacy of Sadie T.M. Alexander, the first Black woman to graduate from the Law School, by launching three new full tuition scholarships created in her honor. Last semester, Dean Ted Ruger expressed the intention to create these scholarships thanks to the suggestion of Penn’s Black Law Students Association (BLSA).
