Hillary Clinton Instagram – It was wonderful to see so many old friends yesterday as we celebrated Sheila Jackson Lee’s incredible life with her family, loved ones, and former colleagues—including a woman who happens to be running for president.
I will miss Sheila as a friend and as a colleague. I will miss her when we’re up for a tough fight and every time we celebrate a hard-won victory.
We lost her too soon. We could use her voice now.
But come next January, when our first woman president takes the oath of office, I’ll be thinking of Sheila. I’ll wonder what she’s wearing up in heaven, which magnificent long scarf she’s wrapped around herself, and which hairdo she’s managed to achieve for such a special occasion.
I’ll be thinking of her and Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan, and all the generations of women who helped to make that day possible because they never stopped believing. | Posted on 02/Aug/2024 23:09:02
