I was very excited to learn more about the background information regarding The Lemon Project. The story about why Lemon was chosen as the face of the project and the struggles African Americans had to go through just to be accepted into the college was intriguing. The determination shown behind the woman who applied and was rejected multiple times before finally being accepted into William & Mary Law School was incredible. William and Mary has come far, but not too far. I can relate to their being predominantly black employees working lower rank jobs at the college while there are very few African American professors here. African American students still have need that encouragement to succeed at William & Mary.
