family,childhood
Abrams is the second eldest of six children. She spent much of her childhood in Gulfport, Mississippi, her mother, Carolyn, was a college librarian and her father, Robert, a shipyard worker. When she was in high school, the family moved from Mississippi to Atlanta.
There her parents became United Methodist ministers, and instilled in their children the value of serving others and the importance of the church. He also emphasized education, and Abrams was his high school valedictorian. Coming of age between the boycott and the march to the Civil Rights Movement, both her parents participated. When he tried to sit in front, his mother was thrown off the buses and his father was beaten up and jailed for his involvement. Carolyn and Robert raised their six children with a “you-can-be-anything mantra” and advocated civic engagement together. Family outings for elections and outreach visits to prisons were frequent.
Education
Abrams subsequently attended Spelman College in Atlanta, where she studied political science, economics, and sociology. While there she was involved in activism. She cofounded Students for African American Empowerment in 1992, and later that year the group staged a protest in which the Georgia flag—which included a Confederate battle emblem—was burned; the flag was later redesigned. Also in 1992 Abrams attended a televised town hall meeting where she accused the city’s mayor, Maynard Jackson, of ignoring the issues of the city’s African Americans. When Jackson opened the Office of Youth Services in 1993, Abrams was hired as a research assistant. After graduating from Spelman in 1995, she studied public policy at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. She then attended Yale Law School (J.D., 1999).
