A Women's History Month note

Dear friends,

During Women's History Month, all should take notice that, as the great Audre Lorde insisted, "The Black woman in America was never meant to survive anyway." Still, in spite of her detractors, generally-speaking, the African American woman has maintained a unique strength and wisdom that is accompanied by an infectious kindness, politeness and sincerity, which has influenced the total North American social environment, for centuries. She has long been and continues to be a comforter and nurturer of children, from all cultural groups. The guardian of Our past and future. To be sure, for many men, the African American woman is the "mother" of Our eyes - and dreams.
