Education
Throughout her early life and high school, Clay Latimer started to develop her activist beliefs. She saw many social injustices which motivated her to take action. In addition, during her high school career, her mother forced her to take a typing class so that she could always find a job. She developed an avid typing ability which helped her in her later career when working at a teletype machine during law school. She attended college at what was then called Southeast Louisiana College in Hammond in 1964. Throughout college, she also experienced many forms of inequality such as being questioned by the dean of students for eating lunch with an African American male. From there she attended Loyola University School of Law. August 26, 1972 was her first day of school which was the same day she joined the National Organization for Women (NOW). These years were integral for Latimer in her journey to becoming the social activist that she is.
