> Sad news, she was a powerful voice. From the LA Times:
> 
> "Selected for the National Medal for the Arts in 1997, the highest award given to artists, Rich refused it.
> 
> “The radical disparities of wealth and power in America are widening at a devastating rate,” she wrote in a letter addressed to then-President Clinton. “A president cannot meaningfully honor certain token artists while the people at large are so dishonored.”"
