Barbara Jordan made a habit of establishing “firsts.” First Black woman elected to the Texas Legislature. First Black member of Congress from Texas. First Black woman to deliver the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. In her speech at the National Women's Conference, she stressed what was at stake should the conference fail: “We will have wasted, lost, negated an opportunity to do something for ourselves and for generations which are not here.” This television news segment for Houston's KPRC-TV shows Jordan visiting the Barbara Jordan Archives at Texas Southern University in 1981.
