Ford also asked the audience to believe Ambassador Marie Yavanovitch who testified during an impeachment inquiry hearing last week

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was honored with the ACLU's Roger Baldwin Courage Award at the ACLU of Southern California's annual Bill of Rights dinner Sunday night. CBS Los Angeles reports Ford, whose appearance was a surprise, was being recognized for her testimony during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination process.

The Bay Area professor alleged Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teens. Kavanaugh, who denied the allegations, was narrowly confirmed along party lines. "I'm thankful sharing my experience prompted 200 thousand people from across our country and around the word to send messages of support… many handwritten, sharing their own story assault and abuse," Ford said.

Welcome Back, Christine Blasey FordIt’s been a little over one year since the Brett Kavanaugh hearings took place, which seems nearly impossible to believe: the dread lingers. But this isn’t about accused men playing victim in some fabricated 21st century witch hunt, as my colleague Emily Alford wrote at the time. It is about Christine Blasey Ford, who on Sunday made a rare public appearance at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California in Beverly Hills to accept the Rodger Baldwin Courage Award.
