REMEMBERING LILLY LEDBETTER
Lilly Ledbetter, civil rights activist and equal pay pioneer has died at the age of 86. In a 2007, 5-4 ruling, she did not win her Supreme Court case, but she won the hearts and minds of women and American to fight until they DO win.
In response, former President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law in 2009, making it easier for women to challenge unequal pay and bolster worker protections against pay discrimination.
Rest in power, Lilly Ledbetter.
