Quote for Today - Third Day in Black History Month
"Senator, I am one of them. You do not seem to understand who I am. I am a black woman, the daughter of a dining car worker ... If my life has any meaning at all, it is that those who start out as outcasts can wind up as being part of the system."
Patricia Roberts Harris [1924-1985]. The above was her reply on January 24, 1977 to Senator Willam Proxmire when asked if she would be able to defend the interests of the poor.
