[nabs-l] First Class Citizenship

[Christina Moore]

No group in society has every achieved the equality they have 
without putting in a lot of effort themselves.
As a population we need to show the world that we can be 
successful.  The more of us that go against perceptions of our 
abilities the closer we get to this status.
Personally, I believe we do have equal access as others in this 
country.  Yes, we have barriers but we can choose to face them or 
let them define us.
We have to meet each other halfway.  We cannot expect the rest of 
society to do all of the work.  At first we may have to do more 
than them but this has been the case throughout history.
God Bless,
Christina

How do we secure this  level of citizenship for ourselves?

 Do you believe  that there is more then a right that we should 
demand? Do
 you think there is a responsibility we have as well?
