| Description: | Betty Ford: (Section missing) “…because you are looking at the patterns of discrimination which must be ended before women are truly free. Freedom for women to be what they want to be will help complete the circle of freedom America has been striving for during 200 years. As the barriers against freedom for Americans because of race or religion have fallen the freedom of all has expanded. The search for human freedom can never be complete without freedom of women.By the end of this century, I hope this nation will be a place where men and women can freely choose their life's work without restrictions or without ridicule. On the eve of the nation’s third century, let us work to end the laws and remove the labels that limit the imagination and the options of men and women alike. Success will open hearts and minds to new possibilities for all people. Much has been done, much remains, but we must keep moving on. Thank you very much.” The First Lady thanks the audience, steps from podium. | |
