The topic was black maternal health, Ms. Warren said, and discussing it in Ms. Steinem's home added a feeling of safety.
Denis MuellerGUEST
The only thing I think of that was funny when I was listening to what Deb said about, yes, it was so easy to talk to people.
Denis MuellerGUEST

Robert GlazerHOST
She's stressing about her clothes before we go out.
Robert GlazerHOST
So what a week is from Alice Walker.
Robert GlazerHOST
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Robert GlazerHOST
Thoughts on that?
JenGUEST
I really feel like some of the draw of the first movie was that it was just kind of a little bit camping with how it was shot and how it was like some of the stuff was shown with the magic.
JenGUEST
And, and I had, and I read the book by Alice Walker after I had seen the movie and it is very different, but I still really liked it.
JenGUEST
It was so long ago that I, had the audio book on cassette tape because that's how they rolled back in the 90s.
JenGUEST
But I really loved the whole cast, but everyone was really fresh and the soundtrack was a big deal in the late 90s.

Nick Ishmael-PerkinsHOST
It is a very consequential year for ACS.
Nick Ishmael-PerkinsHOST
It is also a consequential year for the country of the United States, and when I am faced with these kinds of anniversaries, I'm often reminded of a quote, which is often attributed to Alice Walker, "To look back is to plan." And I think it's a very helpful way of being able to reflect on your past, and those of you who were at the JACS symposium this morning would've heard in the JACS conversation a number of the panelists there talking about the value of looking to the past to understand how some patterns might play themselves out into the future.
Nick Ishmael-PerkinsHOST
But we also need to remember that quote by Dwight Eisenhower, as we are talking about US history, that actually plans don't count for much, but planning counts for everything.
Nick Ishmael-PerkinsHOST
And this is the delicate balance that we have to strike, and I think this is part of what makes this such a consequential year for us, is this ability to reflect on our past, to draw some meaning from it, but not to over-index around what has happened, to be always forward-looking.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
The, the, uh, w- I, I, I was going to a Native American event, uh, because they were trying to help restore the balanced equal position of women in original cultures.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
And so they had invited a woman who's a m- musician, and Alice Walker, the writer, and, you know, the, we were a whole little group of people.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
And when I got on the plane from New York, so the whole plane was full of people with tattoos and chains and studs and, you know.
Gloria SteinemGUEST

Gloria SteinemGUEST

Natasha MitchellHOST
Mm-hmm.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
And then she said, "And isn't that Alice Walker traveling with you?" [laughs] She said, "I love her poetry." I, you know, I w- it was just so...
Gloria SteinemGUEST
You know, my, all my biases and preconceptions were totally blown away.
