Sarah Weddington was 25 when she argued Roe v Wade in front of the Supreme Court and a month shy of 27 when she won it. Still the youngest person to ever argue a Supreme Court case.

She took the case right out of law school and argued it pretty much by herself in front of the Supreme Court. Popped in to my classes a time or two when I was at UT Austin :)

I was 9 when I sang at my first civil rights folk concert. I was 15 when my fellow high school students walked out on the third Thursday of every month to protest the Vietnam War.

These young people are also the same age as the students who led the Soweto student uprising and hastened the end of apartheid. The world is watching and proud of these young leaders.
