‘My Life Is Worth My Effort- and So Is Yours’
In December, the Institute honored Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor for her distinguished career in judicial service with the seventh annual Preston Robert Tisch Award in Civic Leadership at the Museum of Modern Art. The award, given in memory of Preston Robert Tisch, is sponsored by Steve Tisch, Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, and the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund. Sotomayor also joined the Institute at a Latinos and Society Program event in March for a conversation about the role of civic engagement in society and how to inspire civic action among Americans. Sotomayor recently joined the board of iCivics, an interactive website that aims to make civics lessons available at no cost to schools around the United States. Sotomayor discussed Latino identity, youth empowerment, her personal motivations, and more with Latinos and Society Executive Director Abigail Golden-Vasquez.
