Will support John Lewis's legacy
[On her predecessor]: "Nobody could possibly fill the shoes of Congressman Lewis," Williams said. "His leadership and fighting spirit is needed now more than ever in this country. I believe it is imperative that we choose someone with a long track

Trailblazer by being first female Citadel graduate
As soon as The Citadel announced it would accept women, she applied. "I thought The Citadel would be a good place for a kid like me. I didn't really think about the history. I wasn't there for the fame and fortune or the media circus.""Nancy
is a role model for every female cadet who comes here," said Samuel Hines Jr., dean and provost of the college at The Citadel. "You're talking about someone who was enormously successful academically but also who thrived in the corps of cadets."
