Word from the Street
When I was in my teens, I marched to end the Vietnam War. Boys were getting drafted on a daily basis and our generation was highly motivated. It’s good that we had a lot of stamina, because the fight took a decade. The image above was a banner used during the suffrage movement, circa 1913-1920. Women struggled for 75 years to get the right to vote. Let’s hope this era’s “young at our gates” will accelerate the process.
