83-year-old American singer, musician, actor, and political activist Harry Belafonte at the 10-2-10 "One Nation Working Together" rally;
INFUCKINGCREDIBLE!
I had to listen to and see it four times to properly appreciate it's messages and power. A modern day Paul Revere speech riding with eloquence, truth, and urgency reminiscent of King.
The world is changing before our eyes. His is a call to the full exercise of our American democracy. That the audience was not frozen with focus at his every word is telling testimony to where we are, and the manner of journey we must take. It seems Rev. Jackson got it.
November 2nd will determine the speed and degree of pain that journey will manifest. The canned voice-over at the end, again, reminds us of how far we are from where we need to be.
Godspeed to us.
