Marian Wright Edelman : Reflections from a lifetime fighting to end child poverty

Marian Wright Edelman at TEDWomen 2018  (transcript)
Reflections from a lifetime fighting to end child poverty
Summary
The speaker who is around 80 years old is a granny. She has been fighting to end child poverty in her life and it doesn't still end. The most important thing that I think in the story is what she said the need.

“If you just follow the need, you will never lack for something to do or a real purpose in life “.

Her world was that the ambulance didn't help black children. There was no food, schools were unequal between white and black but there were many places where black children shouldn't go.

However, she went everywhere, audiences laughed and she said that it felt so good. I didn't think about that, it didn't feel good but it's very tough, but she said that she was terribly blessed.

First, l didn't understand about constituency. Why the problem to end child poverty needs it. It's because such voters wouldn't be needed. Her words bullied the Children’s Defense Fund which could give birth to an investment of prevention for children there, she was attacked all over the place, though. Furthermore, she tells us that there are still so many problems that we have to leave a better world for our children. Pass on a better world to our children.

We are at the intersections of great needs, great injustice, and great opportunities to change the world. This is a gift from the speaker who is fighting to end child poverty.
