1/9: ### Barbara Jordan: The Voice of Principle in America’s Immigration Debate

Jordan, who rose from segregated Houston to become a national icon, chaired a bipartisan commission in the 1990s that produced a blueprint for immigration overhaul — one that emphasized the rule of law, national interests and humane enforcement. As debates rage today over border security and legal pathways, her recommendations continue to echo, though often selectively invoked.

She navigated the barriers of Jim Crow-era Texas to attend Texas Southern University and Boston University Law School, graduating in 1959. Her legal acumen and commanding oratory propelled her into politics: In 1966, she became the first African American elected to the Texas Senate since Reconstruction, and in 1972, the first Southern Black woman to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
