Dee Dee Myers Zitate

On the day I started college in 1979, no woman had ever been on the United States Supreme Court or served as the Speaker of the House. None had been an astronaut or the solo anchor of a network evening news broadcast. Not one had been president of an Ivy League college or run a serious campaign for president.

An dem Tag, an dem ich 1979 mit dem College anfing, war noch nie eine Frau am Obersten Gerichtshof der USA gewesen oder hatte als Sprecherin des Hauses gedient. Keiner war ein Astronaut oder der alleinige Anker einer Netzwerknachrichtensendung gewesen. Keiner war Präsident eines College der Ivy League gewesen oder hatte eine ernsthafte Kampagne für den Präsidenten geführt.

Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence; Madison wrote not only the United States Constitution, or at least most of it, but also the most searching commentary on it that has ever appeared. Each of them served as president of the United States for eight years. What they had to say to each other has to command attention.

President Kennedy has named two Negroes to District Judgeships and appointed Thurgood Marshall to the United States Court of Appeals. When I came to the Department of Justice, there were only ten Negroes employed as lawyers; not a single Negro served as a United States Attorney - or ever had in the history of the country. That has been changed.
