If this were a courageous country, it would ask Gloria to lead itsince she is sane and funny and beautiful and smartand the National Leaders we've always hadare not. When I listen to her talk about women's rightschildren's rightsmen's rights I think of the long line of Americans who should have been president, but weren't. Imagine Crazy Horse as president. Sojourner Truth.John Brown. Harriet Tubman. Black Elk or Geronimo.Imagine President Martin Luther King confrontingthe youthful "Oppie" Oppenheimer. Imagine PresidentMalcolm X going after the Klan. Imagine President StevieWonder dealing with the "Truly Needy."Imagine President Shirley Chisholm, Ron Dellums, or Sweet Honey in the Rockdealing with Anything.It is imagining to make us weep with frustration, as we languish under real estate dealers, killers, and bad actors.Alice Walker
