When Margaret Montoya tried to get into Harvard University, a professor told her: "I'll never help a Mexican get into law school." That was in 1972. Montoya went on to become the first Hispanic woman accepted at Harvard Law. Now a law professor, she has dedicated her career to fighting discrimination and helping Hispanics succeed. Her role models, she says, are her students. "We learn by imagining what they need us to be," she says. "We invent ourselves as we go along."
