This morning we went to the National Building Museum where they were serving breakfast to about 3000 people. The entertainment was a big group of gospel singers, speakers and even Carol King came on and sang all of her great songs - "Where you lead, I will follow....." etc. I am attaching a short video to this blog - so hopefully that will give you and idea. It was perfect for a Sunday celebration of unity. The speakers made us realize the true repression of black people until this event and how joyful they - and all of us - are for this wonderful expression of UNITED States and a united population.
This is beyond words. I can't wait to get your blog tomorrow. One of the most memorable events in my life was to hear Dr. King speak to an auditorium full of white folks in Dallas in 1965. They were in awe. If not for him you wonder where we would be today. Thank you for doing this Annie!
