For clarification's sake, Condi didn't attend the 16th Street Baptist Church. Her father is a Presbyterian minister, and his church was near the 16th St Church. She doesn't talk that much about having grown up in Birmingham, but maybe that's because her family left (for her sake, according to many articles I've read) when she was about 9 or 10.

Here's a question...had she been an AKA or DST, but had done NOTHING for the sisterhood or community, would this thread even be taking place? I ask because she is VERY active in Alpha Chi, and has been since becoming an alumna. She is friends with our National President, and recently spoke at our National Convention.

Regardless of her political affiliation and the fact that she DOES remind me of Clarence Thomas (in ways that Gen. Powell doesn't) she is a very likeable, dignified woman. Every article I have read about her fails to mention anything reproachable--she is intelligent, highly moral, well-dressed Black woman who, along with Ruth Simmons, is a great role model for young Black girls.

Good question.
