The Harvard Law Review Just Elected Its First Black Woman President
Once again, Black women come through and save the day.
In between all the dispiriting news about the world crumbling all around us, we learn that Nigerian student, Imelme Umana, class of Harvard Law School '18, has become the first Black woman elected President of Harvard's Law Review. Though it took Harvard 130 years longer than it should have, the news of her extraordinary accomplishment couldn't have come at a better time.
Umana is a PhD candidate "interested in the intersection between government and African American studies by exploring how stereotypes of black women are reproduced and reinforced in American political discourse," as reported by Clutch.
Her appointment echoes that of Barack Obama who became the first Black man elected as President of the Harvard Law Review in 1990, and who went on to become, you know, President.
Umana has several people ready to cast prospective votes for her to become the first Black female president of the United States as well. I am one of those people.
If this ain't Black excellence, I don't know what is.
It's times like these when the stories of women of color need to be heard and celebrated. Today we celebrate Imemle Umana in all her Black woman glory.
Imeime Umana Emerges 1st Black Woman To Serve As President Of Harvard Law Review
Imelme Umana, HLS '18, has emerged President of the Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the USA. Law reviews, which are edited by students, play a double role at law schools, provide a chance for students to improve their legal research and writing, and at the same time offer judges and scholars a forum for new legal arguments.
As President of the Harvard Law Review, this job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.
The first black president in the Harvard Law Review's 130-year history is President Barack Obama, the immediate past President of the USA. At the time, Obama who was then a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University, was enrolled at Harvard Law School.

With Umana's emergence, she is the first black woman to serve as the review's president. Umana , who is a doctorate candidate at the Harvard Law School, is most interested in the intersection between government and African American studies by exploring how stereotypes of black women are reproduced and reinforced in American Political discourse.
