Tagged: blog, latina, Latina ListaPosted on: January 5th, 2007“In her speech, Speaker Pelosi has one sentence that should inspire all Latinas and women of color.
And today, I thank my colleagues. By electing me Speaker, you have brought us closer to the ideal of equality that is Americas heritage and hope.
For too long, women of color have suffered through “motivational” speeches that never let us forget that unlike our hermanos brothers who only contend with racial discrimination, las mujeres the women have the proverbial “two strikes” against us: ethnicity and gender.”
