The women who birthed the citizens of the nation are second class. This is the imperfect fabric of our nation, at times weâ€™ve torn and stained it, and at other moments, we mend and repair it. But itâ€™s ours, all of it. The imperialism, the genocide, the slavery, also the liberation and the hope and the deeply American belief that our best days still lie ahead of us.”
