Quite a day
Thank you MLK Jr., LBJ, Bob Moses, Diane Nash, Bobby Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Medgar Evers, the families of the three boys killed in Mississippi, John Lewis, Connie Curry, Paul Potter, Paul and Sheila Wellstone. Some names you will recognize and some you won't, but all are heroes to me. Thanks to thousands of good people who not only sang We Shall Overcome but believed it. Lived it. Thanks Pete Seeger, Woody and Arlo. Special thanks to Jesse Jackson. Yes, a black man is the nominee for President of the United States. This is an amazing moment. How lucky we are to have lived long lives so we could tell the Civil Rights story to grandchildren. A new chapter? No, a new book. America, enjoy the moment. I can hear the refrain from King, "Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last!"
