Leading Ladies
I wanted to post this story during "Black History Month". Unfortunately I didn't get to do so. It is just as thought provoking to me then as it is now. It indicates the force with which Blacks have advanced in all facets of American life. I personally don't think it's by coincidence that Black females have advanced at a rate equal to or exceeding that of Black men. The four ladies pictured above are leaders in their respective fields. When I point out the fact that in many instances. Black women have benefited more than Black men from affirmative action. I am accused of being angry with Black women, or being a male chauvinist. Neither of which is an accurate assessment. I am just realistic and see the big picture. Black women have often been extended invitations where doors were closed to Black men. Killing two birds with one stone so to speak. Offering advancement to both a woman and a minority. It will be interesting to note the affects of this longstanding practice. In regards to the Hispanic community twenty years from now. Will Black females be making this same complaint? These are just a few examples of females forging ahead in their professions.
