So when I came to America 1975, I found out that the black models were being paid less than white models. So the first thing I did was say I'm not going to do the job unless I'm paid the same amount.”

But because of his passion for politics and civil rights, we paid close attention to current events. We would watch political conventions together - for fun!”

“The legacy of women's war work is our present post-industrial employment structure. It was the war that created the demand for a technologically advanced, de-skilled, low-paid, non-unionized female workforce and paved the way for making part-time work the norm for married women now. A generation later, it was the daughters of wartime women workers who completed their mothers' campaign for equal pay.”

“I remember with strong feelings the families who joined our movement and paid dues long before there was any hope of winning contracts.
