Had a great time attending the Legendary Tribute and Gala celebrating the 35th anniversity of women's ordination in the Episcopal Church hosted by the Union of Black Episcopalians and others. We remembered great leaders of the church including Mattie Hopkins, Dr. Anna Julia Haywood Cooper, Dr. Verna Josephine Dozier and the Rev. Dr. Anna (Pauli) Murray. On of the award presenters, the Hon. Bryron Rushing, spoke of the inspiration he felt by being, as we were, "present in the memory of these women."
