“ Sometimes in a college lecture hall there would be thousands and
thousands of people … and sometimes in smaller groups there would be a
woman with a crying baby in the back of the room.
Gloria would say, ‘Would the woman with the crying baby please stay.’
And everybody applauded, and everybody got teary – eyed. It was an era when women were always told, ‘You can’t have your child misbehave’ ---- and she would have left the room.
[Gloria’s remark] exemplified the inclusive[ness], generosity and genuineness of Gloria that she always exhibited. ”
