the happy mania

It is easy enough to vote right and be consistently with the majority. But it is more often more important to be ahead of the majority and this means being willing to cut the first furrow in the ground and stand alone for a while if necessary. -- Patsy T. Mink, first Asian-American elected to Congress, principle author of Title IX, and 'uppity' woman who fought against segregation and sexism.

Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority aired on PBS stations starting April 30, 2009.
