Ten Mexican American women stand in front of the stage

Nine Mexican American women stand in the front of an auditorium with the stage behind them and look at the woman speaking into the microphone on the lectern, Sally Ramos, at an unidentified MANA de Kansas City event. Dawn Williams, secretary, stands second from the left. Bea Marie Mejia wears the pink jacket. Barbara Muro is the woman wearing a red turtleneck dress. Freda Mendez-Smith stands farthest to the right beside the podium. A banner hanging from the stage drapes reads, "MANA de Kansas City. Hispanic Women Creating a Better Future."
