On Monday, a new building on the Texas Capitol grounds was dedicated to Barbara Jordan – the first-ever State building to be named after a Black woman.
At 4 p.m. on April 17, the new 12-story building was unveiled to guests and attendees. The building honors the legacy held by Jordan, the first Black woman to ever be elected to Congress from the South.
Jordan held three terms in Congress on the Judiciary Committee and Committee on Government Operations. Before that, she practiced law and worked on former President John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign.
