May 9, 2013
Aloha to everyone. It's a beautiful, beautiful day, always, to be here in Hawaii. He's right I have to fly back to Washington DC in a couple hours, taking a red-eye and back to work tomorrow, but what Matt said really is the essence of the path in the strategy forward.

My father, Donald, came from Jamaica to study economics. My mother, Shyamala, came from India to study the science of fighting disease. They came here in […]

“ONLY YESTERDAY” Banquet – Palmer House, Chicago, July 20, 1933 Congress, Representative Women The program Committee has given me a pretty, poetic subject and told me to bring you a message out of the past. I belong to a generation going out. You represent one coming in. Perhaps the Committee pictured venerable age telling sweet little stories to youth, sitting at her knee. Alas, I am a grandmother of sterner type and I remind you that whatever civilization becomes in the next fifty years, through progress or reaction, gains or […]

This was the first step towards realizing that vision because for the first time in over three decades, […]
