glasses ceilings glass-ceiling
I never thought I was breaking a glass ceiling. I just had to do what I had to do, and it never occurred to me not to.
bad-day thinking trying
Every day I wear my Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth medallions around my neck. When I think I'm having a bad day, I try to think about their day, and I get up.
moral moral-values values
Family and moral values are so central to everything that I am.
challenges segregation
It never occurred to me that I was not going to challenge segregation.
country children thinking
I'm sure I am impatient sometimes. I sure do get angry sometimes. I think it's outrageous how hard it is to get this country to feed its children and to take care of its children, to give them a decent education.
children lying book
Much of what I do now stems from my rage at segregation and discrimination. I can't stand to see children not able to do anything, anybody not able to do what they can do. The daily lessons of exclusion, having hand-me-down books in schools, of seeing ambulances turn away and not give health care for people lying in the streets who are migrant workers. Everything I do today stems from that segregated existence.
children years america
Children under five are the poorest age group in America, and one in four infants, toddlers and preschoolers are poor during the years of greatest brain development.
children party school
I worry about the kids who have too much. As a parent living in a so-called good neighborhood with children who went to private high school, I found myself spending much time in parent groups worrying about alcohol, unsupervised parties, and parents not being parents.
positive respect giving
No one, Eleanor Roosevelt said, can make you feel inferior without your consent. Never give it.
weapons purpose redeeming
Semi-automatic weapons have no socially redeeming purpose.
strong children lunch
Unless children have strong education and strong families and strong communities and decent housing, it's not enough to go sit in at a lunch counter.
children america justice
So much of America's tragic and costly failure to care for all its children stems from our tendency to distinguish between our own children and other people's children--as if justice were divisible.
girl baby years
If it's wrong for 13-year-old inner-city girls to have babies without the benefit of marriage, it's wrong for rich celebrities, and we ought to stop putting them on the cover of People magazine.
family racism role-models
If parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.
