Had the choice been mine, Barbara Jordan would have been President. Not for her politics but for her character and intelligence.

I truly expected her to be our first female president, and was devastated when she was taken ill! One of my heroes... we sure could use her wisdom now.

Appreciate the run down. I had all but Nix and Diggs

It’s nice to look back to then and remember how they got there. They were warriors and survivors. Not everybody made it out of the sixties alive to see this moment.

I'd have had Barbara Jordan front and center. Long may she be missed.

Barbara Jordan on the far left! And Shirley Chisholm on the right.

I'm ashamed to say, they are the only two I can name...maybe because they were such heroes to me...not sure. But so miss them both, not only for their politics but also for their integrity and smarts...no man could ever put them down.
