The health effects of air pollution imperil human lives. This fact is well-documented.
From Eddie Bernice Johnson
I said we needed to organize women around the world to push peace.
Our second phase was to develop a school curriculum that teaches tolerance, respect for differences, conflict resolution, anger management, and other attributes of peace.
There are still traces of discrimination against race and gender, but it's a lot different than when I started out. It just comes quietly, slowly, sometimes so quietly that you don't realize it until you start looking back.
Generally speaking, historically in this country, the care of a child has been thought of as female business.
Well, I happen to believe all business is female business.
All issues are women's issues - and there are several that are just women's business.
There is not an issue that a woman cannot bring a perspective to.
Dallas was a Black and White society at that time; it didn't have the diversity it has now.
This was the first time a woman in Dallas had won public office of any kind - even women questioned whether or not I was qualified, whether or not I could take it.
