Sweet Honey in the Rock, Margie Adam: Constitution Hall, Washington DC
Richard Harrington, The Washington Post, 2 July 1982
SONGS AND speeches filled Constitution Hall last night as embers of the burnt dream of the Equal Rights Amendment were used to fire a new coalition of women's organizations who perceived July 1 not as the day after defeat, but the first day of a new era. Between the lessons of yesterday, and an impatience for tomorrow, a new resolve was evident in speeches by Mary Purcell, Dorothy Height and Bella Abzug. Songwriter Margie Adam was direct and optimistic in her closing set.
