Oh, I must express. I am trying to approach with positivity, but I can't help but be annoyed. There was a presentation of the documentary of "Chisholm '72, Unbought and Unbossed" at our campus. I mean, here's the story of a woman who ran a campaign for the Presidency of the United States. As if being a woman wasn't a big strike against her at that time, she was BLACK!!! Anyway, NO ONE SHOWED UP.
I tried to think that maybe the planning was off. It was at 6pm, on a Wednesday. Perhaps that is too much to ask for. But really, I can't help but be dismayed at the people who live here. Are we that isolated from the struggles of that 'big, scary world out there?' Is there not one female student who appreciates the women in our history that paved the way for us to have rights and to be able to do little things like, I don't know, RUN FOR PRESIDENT!?!?!? Is there not one student who is interested in the American history with regards to civil rights?!?!?! Geez, where do I live?
