Mary Frances Berry presents the keynote address on race, gender and political progress in this country as part of Black History Month events at U.Va. In her talk, Berry cites examples of successful African-Americans such as Oprah Winfrey, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Tiger Woods and Barack Obama, and said society has made “great progress” in moving towards equal opportunity and fairness for all individuals. Despite this progress in terms of women, African-Americans and Muslims being elected to Congress, Berry said, “There are still [many] issues we have to deal with — we’re not saved.” Berry also makes note of such issues as health, insurance, education, globalization and unemployment, immigration, voting rights and war.
