From the East Coast to the West, Dedication in Every Step
At Appalachian School of Law, we celebrate the leadership and advocacy of our Black Law Student Association (BLSA) President, 3L Michael Agwara. His commitment to amplifying black voices and fostering awareness embodies the true spirit of Black History Month—honoring the past, educating the present, and preparing for the future.
“My journey—from the heart of Appalachia to the bright lights of Las Vegas—reflects the dedication and resilience that define our community. Black History Month is not just a time of remembrance; it is a call to action. It is a reminder that the fight for equality continues and that we, as future legal professionals, have a responsibility to break down the systemic barriers black people face and still see today. These obstacles may take different forms, but their impact remains, making our advocacy and pursuit of justice more important than ever. I am honored to serve as BLSA President and to stand alongside those who are committed to progress and change.” – Michael Agwara, 3L
