julia butler hansen of washington state is definitely one of the women in this era who is pushing the ball along for women in terms of this apprenticeship they're serving as a group. she becomes a very influential member of the house, and her background was actually as a member, a long time member of the washington statehouse of representatives. so she's got lot of legislative speerps before she ever comes to capitol hill. she was the chair of a couple different committees in the state legislator. she served quite often as speaker protam. one of the things in washington she was a prime mover behind establishing the ferry system in the state. so she's got a lot of legislative experience. and she's not your typical freshman when she's elected in 1960. and she very quickly moves into a position of influence. she gets a seat on the appropriations committee on the house. and by the mid-1960s she vies for a subcommittee chairmanship, one of the so-called cardinals of the appropriations committee. and she competes for a seat on the interior and related agencies subcommittee. and it's a tough

like some of the earlier women, like julia butler hansen, she has got a lot of experience. she is a lawyer, she serves as a judge in michigan. and she is elected to the house in 1954 and she comes in in 1955. and she, too, very quickly moves into positions of influence purchase the first woman after a number of women in congress had campaigned with the speaker to get a seat on the very exclusive ways and means committee, the tax committee. and from that position, she really weighs in on a lot of the issues affecting women monetarily, but she is probably best known as the mother of the equal rights amendment. every year, she reintroduced the equal rights amendment, which has a history in congress going back to 1923. and the bill was just stuck in the judiciary committee and it never came out. she was a lawyer by training. she was very critical of the supreme court. she did not think the supreme court was ever going to decide a case that would make women truly equal with men. and so she got behind equal rights amendment. she gets it out of the judiciary committee with the dis

he said, i reached out yesterday to dawn butler to discuss the incident she reported and to offer our support. all allegations offer our support. all allegations of racial profiling must be taken seriously by the metropolitan police. it is imperative the black community has confidence and trust in our police. this must be condemned. the continuing fallout to that incident. the mp said institutional racism is not about saying every single police officer is racist. when you see black people ina carand is racist. when you see black people in a car and you automatically assume they are criminals, there is assume they are criminals, there is a problem. that is why you have to address the system that is currently biased against black people. boris johnson has said the police should treat people with fairness and equality. two more ministers have resigned equality. following the explosion in beirut which killed more than 200 people and injured more than 7,000 last week. thejustice minister marie—claude najm and the finance minister ghazi wazni are the third and fourth government ministers
