Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.

As one whose husband and mother-in-law have died the victims of murder and assassination, I stand firmly and unequivocally opposed to the death penalty for those convicted of capital offenses. An evil deed is not redeemed by an evil deed of retaliation. Justice is never advanced in the taking of a human life. Morality is never upheld by a legalized murder.

I am convinced that the women of the world, united without any regard for national or racial dimensions, can become a most powerful force for international peace and brotherhood.

The process of nonviolence is one that takes time and those of us who've suffered, who've been persecuted over the years, would like to see things change, you know, overnight.

Women, in general, are not part of the corruption of the past, so they can give a new kind of leadership, a new image for mankind.

Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.

People need role models. They need to see examples of people in peoples' lives.
