Happy Birthday to the remarkable Lani Guinier—trailblazer, legal powerhouse, and masterful advocate for democracy! Congratulations on another year of inspiring legions with your bold vision; you set an unprecedented record when Harvard Law School welcomed its very first tenured African-American female professor. We’re still cheering!From advocating voting reforms that had politicians scratching their heads (and subsequently opening their minds), to challenging society's status quo so brilliantly they named laws after it (unofficially!), you've fearlessly elevated thoughtful debate into both a civic duty and hilarious dinner party conversation. Enjoy celebrating this milestone surrounded by laughter, justice—and perhaps fewer recounts!
