In 1965, I marched for equality.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I marched back then - I was in a civil-rights musical, Fly Blackbird, and we met Martin Luther King.
Marching with over a million women in support of our reproductive rights was one of the most empowering things I have done, both as a woman and as a Member of Congress.
It was wrongly assumed that I wished to become some sort of leader among gay activists, whereas in reality I was happier to be a foot soldier.
The uproar of the late '60s - the antiwar movement, black riots, angry women. It was a wonderful time.
I was proud to march beside some of the most notable Civil Rights activists, such as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., from Selma to Montgomery.
In the women's movement, women needed men to stand up and say, 'This isn't right.' In the civil rights of the '60s, it took people of all color to demand equal rights.
The March on Washington affirmed our values as a people: equality and opportunity for all. Forty-one years ago, during a time of segregation, these were an ideal.
I was involved in some peaceful protests.
On October 15, 1965, an estimated 70,000 people took part in large-scale anti-war demonstrations.
I fought for peace in the fifties.
