I Did What My Conscience Told Me

I Am Really Proud To Be A Part In Whatever Way Of Women Becoming Active In The Political Scene. I Think It Was The First Time That People Came To Terms With The Reality Of What It Meant To Have A Senate Made Up Of 98 Men And Two Women.

Well, Of Course It Was A Very Trying Time For Me, And Fortunately I Had A Lot Of People Who Were Supportive. A Lot Of People Who Were Writing And Calling And Saying They Were Praying For Me. Some People Sent Me Scripture, And That Helped.

We've Got To Understand That All Disenfranchised People Have Something In Common...the Pursuit Of Justice Really Is About Equality For Everyone.

When I Think Of What Has Happened In A Larger Sense, Beyond Myself, Then I Would Not Change Anything.

I Have - Often Say To People That You Really Don't Get To Decide Your Own Legacy. I Mean, What You Do Is, You Try To Be Your Own Authentic Self. And Then People Decide How They're Going To Interpret That And What It Means To Them.
