“In the campaign debate, one of the things we talked about was his experience versus my inexperience. I said, ‘I have a right to go up there and make a fool of myself. I'll never know until I get up there. If you're going to always judge people -- women, Blacks, Indians, whatever-- against a white person who has had more advantages, more opportunities, and a quicker starting time, then we should never participate in anything.’”

Carrie Saxon Perry,

First Black woman mayor of a major U. S. city (Hartford, CT)
