More From Peggy Fleming

I think if i have one message, one thing before i die that most of the world would know, it would be that the event does not determine how to respond to the event. that is a purely personal matter. the way in which we respond will direct and influence the event more than the event itself.

I was 21 in 1968, so i'm as much a child of the '60s as is possible to be. in those years the subject of religion had really almost disappeared; the idea that religion was going to be a major force in the life of our societies, in the west anyway, would have seemed absurd in 1968.

I am unable to watch the olympics due to the blustering jingoism that drenches the event. has england ever been quite so foul with patriotism? the 'dazzling royals' have, quite naturally, hi-jacked the olympics for their own empirical needs, and no oppositional voice is allowed in the free press.

In 1990, when we started the black community crusade for children, we were always talking about all children, but we paid particular attention to children who were not white, who were poor, who were disabled, and who were the most vulnerable.parents didn't think their children would live to adulthood, and the children didn't think they were going to live to adulthood. that's when we started our first gun-violence campaign. we've lost 17 times more young black people to gun violence since 1968 than we lost in all the lynching in slavery.
