Dr. Lewis has received many awards for her work, including honorary degrees from Rutgers University and Hollins University, a Women Making a Powerful Difference Award from Ebony magazine and Pine Sol, and the Honorable Annice M. Wagner Pioneer Award from the Bar Association of the District of Columbia.

U.S. Speaker Dr. Lewis was the dean and teacher at a high school for girls in Trinidad and Tobago. She has helped raise funds for a teenage pregnancy program at a high school in her hometown of Fyzabad, Trinidad and for the first school in a village in Tibet which has the unprecedented requirement that fifty percent of its students must be girls. She has served on the board of several community organizations in the United States that promote education and equity for women and girls.

Celebrating the Life of Professor Charles Ogletree.
From SisterMentors’ Archives --Our Visit to Harvard University Hosted by the Late Professor Charles Ogletree. APRIL 2012

"I was honored to meet President Obama's professor," said one of the girls. Professor Charles Ogletree graciously hosted us at the law school on the first day of our visit. The girls had asked to visit the law school since many of them want to become lawyers. Professor Ogletree taught both President Barack Obama and Mrs. Obama at Harvard and has remained close to President Obama throughout the president's political career. Professor Ogletree invited the girls to sit in on his law school class with guest lecturer, Stephen Bright, one of the nation's leading anti-death penalty attorneys.

Before class began, Professor Ogletree spent time with the girls talking about his life and responding to questions. Professor Ogletree shared with the girls that he grew up in a poor family but had great teachers at his high school and went on to graduate from Stanford and Harvard universities. In response to a question from one of the girls, Professor Ogletree explained how he became a lawyer. He said that he was not sure about what he wanted to do when he was in college and decided to become a lawyer when he met Angela Davis' attorneys during her trial. Angela Davis is an American political activist and scholar whose trial is one of the most famous trials in U.S. history. Professor Ogletree said that he started his career as a public defender in Washington, D.C., a job he described as "the best job I ever had."

One of the girls asked how he feels knowing that he taught the President of the United States. Professor Ogletree said that President Obama was a remarkable student but that Mrs. Obama was even better. He explained that he met Mrs. Obama the first year he started teaching at Harvard and was impressed by her court appearances helping people with public assistance and housing problems. One of the girls described the meeting with Professor Ogletree as "very informative." "It helped me figure out what I want to do with my future."
