America and offered her thoughts
on President George Bush. •
"How wonderful it was," said
Chisholm of the 1960's which
she calls "The Second
Reconstruction."
She remembered that era as a
time when people were judged on
their talents, not their race or
gender. Following. Martin Luther
King Jr's example, blacks began
gaining jobs because of their
abilities, she said.
Chisholm spoke about women
moving out and asserting their
views. "There arc stupid men and
I"ve met them," said Chisholm.
"There are stupid men and stupid
women," said Chisholm who
feels equality is a principle with
universal appeal.
She said she believes we all
must take our individual talents
and use them to work together for
the benefit of human kind.
"Discrimination is alive and
well," she said. "There has been
a steady erosion of the gains that
were made."

today's society, she said, "Just
because some people think the
world is flat, should we throw
away our globes?"
On the subject of the poor and
homeless in America, Chisholm
told two stories. One dealt with a
young mother living in an
abandoned truck with her family.
The other was about a heartland
farmer about to lose the family
farm.
With these stories, Chisholm
attempted to bring home the
plight and problems of less
fortunate Americans. • -
"When you're poor, you're
poor, whether you are white or
black.," said Chisholm. "We've
got to realize that we are all part
of the salad bowl of America
(and) work for the benefit of
human kind," said Chisholm,
who urges American youth to
join hands in a movement
remniscient of the 1960'5.
In conclusion, Chisholm
addressed some issues facing
Americans in the near future.
She emphasized the idea that
we should not spend our time
arguing over race, but face our
problems together. Chisholm
offered the audience a list of
these needed changes.
"There is a lesson to learn.
Through love and social
responsibility we can climb the
Acropolis and become one great
human family."
