People like Barbara Jordan should be celebrated. Instead America salivates over pop stars and sporting events.

Sh*T, we've backslided a lot, we've went from Barbara Jordan to Sarah Palin.

I'm a Libertarian and I think she was one smart woman!!

I agree with you sir. I am African-American and moderately conservative but can not find myslef to vote for those folks in the republican party, and I am sick and tired of the democratic party but to their credit they dont go on foxnews and create stories and lies.. Barbara Jordan views on immigration would not sit well with today's democratic party, I totally agree with her on immigration ( see article in New York Times) She was part of the Clinton commission on immigration.

You need education ._. that is answer to the reason why you said exposed instead of supposed and education is only as boring as you make it (if its boring, you're boring)

I'm conservative, but I'm also a Texan and I love Barbara Jordan. I miss her and wish that she could have made it to see Obama elected.

I remember on Good Times someone said there has not been a woman president and

Esther Rolle immediately snapped back "Barabara Jordan and you had better believe it!" that got a roar from the audience.

“I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.” – President Barack Obama, from his acceptance speech in the early morning of November 7th, 2012.
