Many of the witnesses were women who run successful companies that they started by themselves, in a variety of fields, from service industries to construction and manufacturing. Other witnesses were representatives of the National Association of Women Business Owners and of groups such as nonprofit economic development corporations. The witnesses' testimony centered on the difficulties women entrepreneurs face in starting businesses, gaining access to capital, working through Small Business Administration (SBA) red tape, and trying to win bids for government contracts. Testimony supported legislative ideas for setting up commissions on women, for making federal contracts more accessible, and for persuading banks to end discrimination. It was also pointed out that corporations and the country as a whole are missing a vital force for economic development by denying some women the chance to move up in their firms. Testimony supported easier access to the SBA, more government contracts for women-owned businesses, and stronger antidiscrimination regulations.

  • Jordan Biography Owes a Great Deal to His Suggestions and Management
    1 Leon Mercer Jordan, The Founder of Freedom, Inc. Following in the Footsteps of His Father and Grandfather By Robert M. Farnsworth 2 Dedicated to James C. Olson, whose professional dedication to history led him to complete his biography of Stuart Symington despite years of physical difficulty near the end of his life. His example challenged me in my elder years to tell the story of a remarkable man who made a significant difference in my life. 3 Preface How All This Began I moved from Detroit to Kansas City with my wife and four children in the summer of 1960 to assume my first tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of American Literature at Kansas City University. The civil rights movement was gathering steam and I had made a couple of financial contributions to the Congress of Racial Equality while still in Detroit. CORE then asked if I were interested in becoming more socially active. I said yes, but I was moving to Kansas City. It took them months to catch up with me again in Kansas City and repeat their question. I again said yes. A few weeks later a field representative was sent to Kansas City to organize those who had showed an interest. He called the first meeting in our home. Most who attended were white except for Leon and Orchid Jordan and Larry and Opal Blankinship. Most of us did not know each other, except the Jordans and the Blankinships were well acquainted. The rep insisted we organize and elect officers. Someone nominated me to become chair, probably for little more reason than the meeting was taking place in our home.
