Women are on the march. They want
more rights. What are the things that
women want? They want to be given I
individual rights.
Women housekeepers in New York Ci­
ty went on strike. They wanted to get a
cost of living pay. They wanted money
to feed their children. They wanted to
be paid on time.
Women have always fought for civil
rights. In slavery days it was women
who fought to free the slaves. As
America grew stronger, women's
rights did not grow. Women were left
behind. Women, like blacks, had to
. fight for their freedom.
Many men are for civil rights. They
still do not understand women.
Shirley Chisholm is a real fighter. The
lady from New York talks about
"another civil rights battle." It is for
women.
Many black women are fighting for
rights that go with being poor. Black
•••••••••••
women are not different from black
I
men. Both want jobs, Both want to
live a good life. The battle of black
women is the battle of black men.
Black women are smart. They know
that the low pay is not because they
are women. Blacks do not have
power. They do not like the idea of
women trying to down men. Black
. women are not trying to be men. They
do not ask for a draft. They ask for
equal rights. Black women know they
are fighting for equality. Total equali- •
ty is the song of black women.
Women are often paid low salaries.
They are also kept from getti g better
jobs. Black women know that when
they have power they can get jobs.
That is why black women will not
fight black men.
Black women do not want a few jobs
given to a few "token" women. They
want the right to get the job they are
trained to do. They want all the rights
of every other American.
