Of women. This event was hosted by the Radcliffe Institute for advanced study at harvard and the john f. Kennedy president ial library. Its about half an hour. Hi. Hi. Its a pleasure to be here today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the report issued by the president ial commission on the status of women and its an honor to be here not at the Kennedy Library but with the Kennedy Library and with its wonderful volunteers today.

The daytoday of the Fenty Campaign and that was the current mayor the time and he was the main opponent of vincent gray who was chairman at the time. So it covered the normal campaign. I was interested in watching fentys downfall. Everyone saw it coming. And it was my job. Shortly after gray took office, i heard from the gentleman suleimon brown, who had run for mayor.
