At the climax of their engagement, they had the opportunity to have toured historical spaces within AFELL office. Some of those spaces mark’s significant transitions in our country’s history.
During their tour, they encountered a room bearing the pictures and names of past Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of Liberia who were women, along with their distinct tenures.
Some of their faces were recognized by our mentees, including familiar names but they never had idea of their roles played in history.
