- This audio recording features the first annual Women's Day worship service at Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include songs, an occasion speech delivered by actor Carole Mitchell-Leon, the act of praise, a scripture lesson, prayers led by Lillian Gilstrap, and a speech from Thelma Wyatt Cummings, Fulton County Superior Court Judge (at 00:38:58). In her speech, Cummings speaks to the topic of women of the 1990s as diamonds in the rough. She asks what makes diamonds so precious and carries the analogy of the qualities of diamonds to the lives of women.
