Geraldine Ferraro brought life to down
town Atlanta recently when she sent an
estimated mixed crowd of 20,000 into
cheers and roars of approval in a speech
that blistered the Reagan-Bush ad
ministration. Rep. Ferraro said the
“pollsters and pundits’’ say “I can't win in
November’’ and the crowd booed the
pollsters. Then she took what she called
her “own ‘scientific’ survey here today,’’
asking, “Are we going to win in
November?’’ She was answered by a loud
roar of approval.
She took Reagan to task for what she

unemployed to check the ‘want ads,’ but
confirmed that the problem is, they don't

College? Why has such a small school had
such a heavy impact on the thought and
life of our race, our nation, and oui
world?’
“In reply, I have said, Morehouse is
great not because of her wealth because
her financial resources are limited. She is
great not because of her splended
buildings and extensive lands because her
physical plant is modest and her campus is
small. Morehouse is great because of her
human resources. She has engaged
superior teachers who have produced
superior students.”
