issues that people do not want to raise in order to move to another level.

[00:00:06]
Um, I mean, it is, it is, it is beyond getting a Sandra O'Connor on the Supreme Court, you see.

[00:00:13]
{SPEAKER name="Nancy Shiffrin"}
A conservative woman!

{SPEAKER name="Sonia Sanchez"}
That's what I mean!

[00:00:16]
It is beyond that, you see.

[00:00:18]
And many people - oh - it's beyond getting on the corporation, on the board of the corporation,

[00:00:22]
and acting just like the men in their, being as inhumane as they are.

[00:00:26]
And so, yes, I mean, there are issues, other issues that must be addressed,

[00:00:31]
and will be addressed, in order for a viable, progressive feminist movement.

[00:00:35]
But it becomes very obvious that in this country, the feminist movement was infiltrated,

[00:00:47]
Really affected the, the, you know, the really progressive issues and ideas, whatever.

[00:00:51]
Because they're obvious, if you just look at it. And I think that things will be picked up by other people

[00:00:56]
at some point to, you know, to move it again, and getting to take it out of the hands of people,

[00:01:00]
who are like, stars in a sense, you know,

[00:01:02]
Who just gather people around, let's all have a dinner

[00:01:06]
some place and talk about how long can you come from.

[00:01:09]
[[laughter]]
And, that's about it.

{SPEAKER name="Sonia Sanchez"}
Um-hmm.

[00:01:17]
{SPEAKER name="Wanda Coleman"}
Where do you see your work going?

[00:01:20]
What are some of your long range projections?

[00:01:26]
What do you see accomplishing in the coming decade?

[00:01:31]
What's your ideal? You don't have to be too specific,

{SPEAKER name="Sonia Sanchez"}
Right, yeah,

[00:01:34]
{SPEAKER name="Wanda Coleman"}
but just in terms of

[00:01:36]
{SPEAKER name="Sonia Sanchez"}
In March,

{SPEAKER name="Wanda Coleman"}
what you want to cover.

[00:01:38]
{SPEAKER name="Sonia Sanchez"}
In March, in March, rather, Under a Soprano Sky,

[00:01:43]
will be out. And I read, some, some of the pieces in there.

[00:01:46]
That book has a long range of poems and sections all the way from

[00:01:53]
the poems to my grandmother, the letters to my grandmother,

[00:01:56]
it's a poem about Auschwitz.

[00:02:01]
On to poems about a woman who lost her son,

[00:02:07]
and I happened to be there and tried to breathe life back into his

[00:02:11]
mouth and tasted his morning pancakes.

[00:02:15]
And here, she asked me did I know, her question to me, did I know her son?
