"We have to build things that we want to see accomplished, in life and in our country, based on our own personal experiences ... to make sure that others ... do not have to suffer the same discrimination." - Patsy Takemoto Mink (1927-2002), the first non-white woman and the first #AsianAmerican woman elected to Congress. #womenshistorymonth #ucdasa #asaucd #ucdavis #patsytakemotomink (at UC Davis)
