I've been reading her since Vincent Chin was murdered.<BR/><BR/>Speaking for myself, many if not most of my role models in activism and in life have been women of color. Women have been running my family all my life, and not because there haven't been men around but because the women are just goddamn stronger and more on top of things.

But then, I guess we're talking about white folks, so....yeah.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the excerpt, Sudy.<BR/><BR/>Peace.Kaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029372828318292725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30786752.post-6830583439549243252007-12-02T08:44:00.000-05:002007-12-02T08:44:00.000-05:00Link away!This was a snippet I found on a Ms. onli...Link away!<BR/><BR/>This was a snippet I found on a Ms. online collective.
