Quotes
'Connie Ward', '00:05:07', "To come from a child of sharecroppers, grew up on a plantation, cleaned other people's houses as a child, migrated from Alabama to the northeast to Connecticut at a young age, and that she was able to buy property, build equity, sell property, buy property, and she's done it probably eight times, it kind of blows my mind when you put that into perspective, especially as a female woman of color."
