THE DRIVER.
THE SIX BLIND MEN.

[The SIX BLIND MEN stand by the roadside, begging. The DRIVER comes with his elephant.]
BLIND MEN. A penny, sir! A penny!
DRIVER (throwing pennies). There, and there, and there! Now out of the way with you! I must take my elephant by.
FIRST BLIND MAN. I have never seen an elephant, sir.
OTHER BLIND MEN. Nor I! Nor I!
DRIVER. Do you know what he is like?
BLIND MEN. No, sir! No, sir!
DRIVER. Would you like to touch him?
BLIND MEN. Yes! Yes!
DRIVER. Come, then, and stand by him.
FIRST BLIND MAN (placing hand on elephant's side). Well, well! Now I know all about him! He is exactly like a wall!
SECOND BLIND MAN (feeling the tusk). He is not like a wall! He is round and smooth and sharp. He is like a spear.
THIRD BLIND MAN (feeling the trunk). Both of you are wrong. He is like a snake.
FOURTH BLIND MAN (feeling a leg). Oh, how blind you are! He is round and tall like a tree!
FIFTH BLIND MAN (feeling an ear). Why, he is exactly like a great fan!
SIXTH BLIND MAN (feeling the tail). This elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree, or a fan. He is exactly like a rope.
DRIVER. Ha, ha, ha!

[He goes, driving elephant and laughing.]
FIRST BLIND MAN. Ha, ha, ha! Hear how he laughs at you!
SECOND BLIND MAN. He laughs at you and the others.
THIRD BLIND MAN. He does not laugh at me!

FIFTH BLIND MAN. You cannot say he laughs at me!

Read the excerpt from shirley chisholm’s speech “equal rights for women.” as a black person, i am no stranger to race prejudice. but the truth is that in the political world i have been far oftener discriminated against because i am a woman than because i am black. prejudice against blacks is becoming unacceptable although it will take years to eliminate it. but it is doomed because, slowly, white america is beginning to admit that it exists. prejudice against women is still acceptable. there is very little understanding yet of the immorality involved in double pay scales and the classification of most of the better jobs as “for men only.” the fourteenth amendment states all persons born or naturalized in the united states, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside. no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. how does chisholm incorporate the constitutional principle based on the fourteenth amendment in the excerpt? by comparing the unequal treatment shared by african americans and women by explaining how life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not shared by all citizens by showing that the government has made no effort to enforce the rights of all people by conveying the idea that everyone must live by the words stated in the constitution
