Condoleezza Rice gave one of the most inspiring interviews I have ever heard. Bari Weiss spoke with her on Race, Russia, Freedom and Why America’s Best Days Are Still Ahead.
One quote:
My parents ... were loving but they had really high expectations of me, and the people of that community had high expectations of the kids. It wasn't, "Oh, you know, it's too bad that Birmingham is like that." It was, "You have to be twice as good." And that meant you worked twice as hard. You were twice as confident. It was, "There are no victims." The minute that you say you're a victim, you've given control of your life to someone else.
