The Accomplishments of Feminism, NOW and Then

JERRY HICKS

September 05, 1996|JERRY HICKS

"The Blind Boys of Alabama" sing gospel music Saturday night at the San Juan Capistrano Regional Library, as part of its Multicultural Arts series. The group has received the National Endowment for the Arts' Heritage Fellowship for Lifetime Achievement. Don't count on hearing the original members--the group is more than 50 years old. . . .

How many of you had to do back-to-school shopping? Some day my 13-year-old son will thank his mother: She stopped him from buying a T-shirt at South Coast Plaza that said "I Dig Chicks." . . .

Wrap-Up: I have my own suggestion for national NOW leaders. During the next four years, help turn around the country's thinking so that Republicans or Democrats wouldn't dare nominate a presidential candidate without having a woman on the ticket. We're long past the time for diversity at that level. Though somehow I can't picture Ross Perot asking a woman to be his running mate.

Jerry Hicks' column appears Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Readers may reach Hicks by calling the Times Orange County Edition at (714) 966-7823 or by fax to (714) 966-7711, or e-mail tojerry.hicks@latimes.com
