The Honorable Vel Phillips was honored by the Alverno College community on Thursday, April 16, 2015. A documentary outlining the life of Ms. Phillips was featured along with a panel discussion. Ms. Phillips has been a staunch advocate for many diverse progressive issues, most prominently civil rights and a powerful voice in the struggle to improve the Milwaukee community as well as the state of Wisconsin. Phillip is surrounded by Sherry Hill, Congresswoman Gwen Moore, Adekola Adedapo, and Attorney Celia Jackson.

 

 

Congratulations Ms. Phillips, Our Historical Jewel !
