God Is Our Co-counsel: Athens Mock Trial: Goodbye, Dear!

Laura has started a new mock trial blog. You should go read it and root her on as she takes ODW to Oregon! :) http://oregonmocktrialclub.blogspot.com/

About the Club

The Olivia Davidson Washington Mock Trial Club teaches high school students to pursue excellence through meticulous preparation. Since it is independent of a formal school institution, the Club meets in members' houses during evenings.

Olivia Davidson Washington (1854-1889) was born a slave in West Virginia, but moved to Albany, a small town near Athens, as a child. Olivia received her education at the Hampton Institute and became a teacher. Gaining notoriety, she was contacted by Booker T. Washington and helped him found the Tuskegee Institute. The two were later married in Athens. The Club seeks to honor Mrs. Washington by continuing her legacy of hard work and non-traditional education.

You can also find the Olivia Davidson Washington Mock Trial Club on Facebook.
