Black Reporters Are As Capable Of Racism As Anyone Else.

As Skills And Energy Became More Of A Demand, People Who Didn't Have Skills Just Got Left Behind, Got Shuttled To The Side. Education Didn't Keep Up With Their Promise. Education Didn't Prepare Them For This New World. Jobs Went Overseas.

I Do Think That Some Of Us Began To Realize That This Was Going To Be A Long Struggle That Was Going To Go On For Decades, And You'd Have To Knuckle Down. A Lot Of People In Our Generation Did That. They Didn't Drop Out And Run Away

Working In A Situation With Men And Women, And Seeing Women Take On Roles Equal To The Roles Taken By Men Made You Understand That, "hey, These People Can Do Things Too." And I Think It Made Me And Other People In The Movement Realize That We're Living In A Community Of Equals. And That Among Those Equals, They Have Equal Rights. And We Ought To Respect Their Rights If They Respected Ours.
