Barbara Jordan

Hi everyone, 

I hoped you all enjoyed learning about Barbara Jordan in today's class. Here are a few things I forget to mention about this trailblazing, historical political figure: 

• In 1993, Barbara was the first recipient of the Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights, given by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
• In 1999, the Kaiser Family Foundation created the Barabar Jordan Health Policy Scholars Program in order to honor her and expand the potential pool of young leaders of color interested in the field of health policy and public service
• Barbara received nearly over two dozen honorary degrees
