As there were no black Founding Fathers, there were no founding mothers - a great pity, on both counts.

I've always met more discrimination being a woman than being Black...men are men.

Service is the rent that you pay for room on this earth.

Which is more like genocide, I have asked some of my black brothers - this, the way things are, or the conditions I am fighting for in which the full range of family planning services is available to women of all classes and colors, starting with effective contraception and extending to safe, legal terminations of undesired pregnancies at a price they can afford?

... all Americans are the prisoners of racial prejudice.

As a black person I am no stranger to prejudice. But the truth is that in the political world I have been far more often discriminated against because I am a woman than because I am black.

Racism keeps people who are being managed from finding out the truth through contact with each other.
