I Guess I Would Say First Of All That We Tend To Go Back To The 60s And We Tend To See These Struggles And These Goals In A Relatively Static Way.

Media Mystifications Should Not Obfuscate A Simple, Perceivable Fact; Black Teenage Girls Do Not Create Poverty By Having Babies. Quite The Contrary, They Have Babies At Such A Young Age Precisely Because They Are Poor--because They Do Not Have The Opportunity To Acquire An Education, Because Meaningful, Well-paying Jobs And Creative Forms Of Recreation Are Not Accessible To Them ... Because Safe, Effective Forms Of Contraception Are Not Available To Them.
