Description
Raised on a ranch in Arizona, Sandra Day O’Connor would grow up to be independent and confident. These are two qualities that served her well in the future. In 1981 President Ronald Reagan made history when he appointed her to be the first female justice on the Supreme Court. During her time on the court, O’Connor had to deal with issues such as affirmative action, gun control and abortion. She often times became the swing vote on important cases. Please join Monroe Community College’s professor of history, Mark Sample, as he tells the story of O’Connor and her times. You must have a laptop, tablet or phone with audio and video capability to access this class.
