The New York County Lawyers' Association and the Metropolitan Black Bar Association presented the annual Ida B. Wells-Barrett Justice Award to Elizabeth Moore, Con Edison's general counsel, during a Feb. 28 ceremony at the bar group's Vesey Street headquarters. With her is NYCLA president Stewart Aaron of Arnold & Porter.
The award, named for the first black woman to run for public office in the United States, is presented each year to a woman whose life reflects Wells' "spirit and courageousness by distinguishing herself in the right for racial and gender equality."
