Murders with guns are the No. 1 cause of death for African-American men between the ages of 15 and 34.

I was born in '58, so the riot in Detroit in 1967 was a memorable introduction to the issue of race and how race made a difference in American society.

So while that's not explicitly a women's issue, what it highlights is that women have more opportunities than they've ever had in this country. — Mindy Finn

The backstory to anyone of mixed race is a lifetime spent being incorrectly perceived and choosing either to allow that misperception to continue or to correct it, so I am aware of identity and race as being much more fluid, I think, than someone who is "purely" one thing or the other.
