pay for equal work is not just a women's issue. it is a family issue. in one of my first acts as president, the loss of the women who have been discriminated against in their salaries could have their day in court to make it right. there are steps we should take to prevent that from happening in the first place. that is why i was disappointed when an important bill to give women more power to stop pay disparities was blocked by just two votes in the senate. i will keep up the fight to pass the reforms in the bill. achieving equality and opportunity for women is not just important to me as president. it is something i care about deeply as the father of two daughters who wants to see his daughters grow up in a world where there are no limits to what they can achieve. as i travelled across the country visiting schools and teaching young people, i have seen so many girls passionate about science and other subjects that were traditionally not open to them. we even held a science fair at the white house. i met a young woman who was only

have we made significant strides in our fight for equality? i kept ignoring the question pushing around my head. the thought kept buzzing in my head like a baby at a picnic. when i finally paid attention on whether we have made significant strides, the answer was an unequivocal no. it was only when i answered the question it and sat down, it was only when i answered that question that the words began to flow. the equal rights movement would not have happened without the dedication and passion of women like kb, and susan b. anthony. they used their anchor to fuel and ignite their voices. many of these women who risk their lives often found themselves find, jailed, in prison, but they still stood up to equality as human beings. even in the earliest beginnings of the country, it was women like sacajawea who showed lewis and clark not only the way to go but carried her baby on her back for 1,000 miles. women like gloria steinem, who earned our respect by bringing women's equality into the mainstream, or rosa parks, who refused to give up her seat

pay for equal work for women you wonder if the next step of the republican party will be to repeal the nineteenth amendment and take away women's rights to vote. republicans are also cutting critical federal programs that assist low income families across the country and make sure poor women don't get any help raising their kids will try to work republicans are cutting head start programs and slashing elementary school funding at the same time republicans have been feverish lee pushing corporate tax cuts corporate deregulation corporate welfare chip u.s. jobs overseas tax cuts for billionaires even doing away with the inheritance tax basically it's a strategy of let's steal from the poor especially women and give to the corporations and the rich c.e.o.'s. it makes you wonder do conservatives think that corporations are actual people. but women particularly poor and minority women are just second class citizens the truth is they do but this isn't anything new in america since that fateful supreme court case in eight hundred eighty six southern pacific railroad versus santa clara county

the fight for equality starts just like that and the history of sports is in many ways the history of this fight. back in one thousand nine hundred ten an african american boxer named jack johnson sent white america into a panic at the time the accepted scientific truth in society was that african-americans lacked both the mental and even physical ability to succeed in sports but then johnson became the first african-american heavyweight champion and after that there was an outcry for a great white hope to defeat johnson and restore order to the universe which johnson defeated this great white hope the former champion jim jeffries in front of a hostile all white crowd of twenty two thousand people on july fourth independence day. african-americans took to the streets to celebrate his victory. drawing the wrath of an angry white mobs. for many jack johnson was much more than just a boxer as a powerful symbol of black masculinity he represented a direct threat to the right male power both inside and outside the ring and his example would inspire other black athletes to fight for equalit
