What fun are rules if you don’t get to break them occasionally? My sister took this photo because SHE WON AN EMMY and it finally arrived at her house. I think that deserves a little rule breaking. I just learned that there are all different Emmy awards- I mean- she wasn’t up against Katherine Heigl- but she did still win for best documentary in her regional area. Though she totally would have rocked the red carpet.

Through her involvement with the Texas Young Lawyers Association (even though they are kicking her out next year when she becomes eligible for the Texas Approaching Middle Ages Lawyers Association) last year she helped produce a documentary called They Had a Dream Too for use in Texas schools to teach about civil rights and get kids involved in community activism. She is so bad ass. Go look at the documentary, you can actually watch the whole 28 min video on the site.

They had a Dream Too: Young Leaders of the Civil Rights Movement is an 11th and 12th grade curriculum project. This project was produced by the Texas Young Lawyers Association (TYLA) and made possible by a grant from the Texas Bar Foundation. They Had a Dream Too: Young Leaders of the Civil Rights Movement consists of a 28 minute film highlighting the achievement of a few of the thousands of young people who made a difference in the 1950s and 1960s when the struggle for civil rights reached its peak in the United States. The film includes interviews with people who as young adults helped changed their world. The film also contains a component that educates students about civil rights struggles that have occurred since the 1960s and challenges young people to become leaders today.

I did take a photo of the day today, but her photo was cooler. Emmy > Kittens.
