| Summary: | Activist and lawyer Constance L. Rice was born on April 5, 1956 in Washington, D.C. Attending Town and Country School in London, she graduated from Universal City High School in Texas in 1974, earning her B.A. degree in government from Harvard University in 1978. She earned her J.D. degree in 1984 at New York University School of Law. Mentored by Lani Guinier and the Honorable Damon J. Keith, she was involved in the NAACP Legal and Educational Fund's fight against California Proposition 209, the first electoral test of affirmative action policies in America. In 1998, Rice helped found the firm of English, Munger and Rice, and became co-director of the Advancement Project, a public policy legal action organization. In 1999, Rice launched a coalition lawsuit that won $750 million for new school construction in Los Angeles. One of California's top 10 lawyers, she won $15 billion worth of injunctive relief and damages for multi-racial coalitions of lawyers and clients.
