the monumental class of this woman is astounding

[@VashTheDamnFiend]

She’s a great artist but wow, they truly don’t make activists like her anymore. Regal, respectful, poised, and rational. Someone you can actually have a conversation as opposed to all the close minded slacktivist grifters we have today. Dick’s opening statement about her couldnt be more true, very charismatic & charming.

[@SusanMccutchen]

That's what's wrong today (the person who said yawn)). Everything has to be over the top. She has great insights and spoke about important and historical things.

They don't make people like this anymore.
