Human rights lawyer, Amal Clooney, tells grads to be courageous

(10 May 2018) AMAL CLOONEY URGES GRADS TO BE COURAGEOUS
Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney urged young students at Vanderbilt University to have courage because it inspires others and creates rights for future generations, using examples of some of the clients she has worked with around the world.
Clooney spoke Thursday (10 MAY 2018) in Nashville, Tennessee, for senior day, a part of the university's commencement activities, and was given the Nichols-Chancellor's Medal. Clooney admitted that she had never been to Tennessee before, but said her husband, actor George Clooney, told her the university had a good basketball team.
She noted that students at Vanderbilt who staged sit-ins during the Civil Rights era showed their courage to fight for equal rights. But she said courage is still needed to address conditions for women, journalists and LGBT people worldwide.
