1. There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest There is a passage through the darkness and the mist And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest Oh, let us turn our thoughts today To Martin Luther King And recognize that There are ties between us All men and women Living on the earth Ties of hope and love Sister and brotherhood James Taylor “Shed a Little Light” Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://sites.google.com/site/sgsprofessionaloutreach/)

As of 2006, White people made up 66.6% of the US population, However: 82% of college and university teachers are white 89% of lawyers are white & 98% of prosecuting attorneys are white 79% of accountants and auditors are white 75% of doctors and surgeons are white 86% of non-profit board members are white 96% senators are white Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://sites.google.com/site/sgsprofessionaloutreach/)

18. Women make up almost half the working population of the United States. And yet: Women make 78 cents to a man’s dollar. The wage gap has been closing at a rate of less than half a penny a year. If equal pay for women happened right now, across the board, women would gain $319 billion in 2008 dollars. Unequal pay kicks in shortly after college graduation, when women and men should, absent discrimination, be on a level playing field. Women still are segregated into "pink-collar" jobs that are lower skill and lower pay. For example, women make up 87% of child care workers and 86% of the health aides.
