!!!HELP ASAP 90 POINTS!! Read the except from "Speech to National Council of Negro Women” by Condoleezza Rice.

I also feel, of course, a great, great kinship with this wonderful organization. It's been a part of our lives and a part of our histories from the time that any of us could remember. It is an organization that stands for the best in America because it stands for opportunity, and it stands for hope, and it stands for belief. It stands for everything that it really means to be American. It also stands for the tremendous gains that we as African-Americans, and African-American women, have made in these many years.
