Announcing the 2011 Women History Makers-DC, MD & VA Nominations



Last week, in honor of Father’s Day, WOMEN AT LIBERTY  posted Motivational Moments by great men, fathers, and brothers. Also, special messages and videos were posted featuring President Barack Obama, Denzel Washington, Rick Warren and others.   Here is one of the featured post:

If I'm going to fall, I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith.  I want to fall forward.  I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to hit.  Fall forward.
--Denzel Washington, Academy and Tony Award Winning Actor giving the Commencement Address at University of Pennsylvania, May 2011
