“What the people want is very simple. They want an America as good as its promise.” — Barbara Jordan
(A truly great American! Smart as a whip! Such a shame that she died so young. I would’ve loved to have seen her as Prez or Veep. But, it wasn’t meant to be. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

She was a straight talker! I loved her. Happy Fourth, UR!
Madame Barbara represented my home district a few years after I left for the military. By the time I was close enough to DC to join a Congressional tour group that visits Members, she was no longer taking visitors due to declining health.
She was a powerful presence on television; I can only imagine what she might have been like in person.
