Growing up under Jim Crow in Grapeland, Texas Video, Brown University President Ruth Simmons states, “I would not have thought it possible for a person of my background to become president of Brown University.” In addition to their own personal skills, talents, and accomplishments, much has changed in U. S. policy and attitudes since Ruth Simmons, Samuel L. Jackson, and Condoleezza Rice were children. Select one of these three guests, and describe policies and laws that have been enacted and movements that have taken place since that person was born (Ruth Simmons in July 1945; Samuel L. Jackson in December 1948; and Condoleezza Rice in November 1954) to make it possible for them to rise to the pinnacles of their professions. HURRRY
