An amazing political/historical/American moment is/has taken place. Jimmy Carter, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and the Reverend all just ripped into President Bush (who just sat there smirking). Domestic spying, weapons of mass destruction, "weapons of mass distraction", and Katrina have all been discussed.
As an African-American who has dedicated myself to the work of Dr. and Mrs. King, I believe that it is our responsibility to use this moment. We must take this opportunity to speak truth to power and speak truth to people. It is time that we let the media and the nation know why we fight.

This is about justice, fair play, and equality.
We believe that it is God's will that we raise each other up in a spirit of peace of hope rather than tear each other apart through greed and dishonesty.
We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome some day
The Lord will see us through, the Lord will see us through
The lord will see us through some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
The Lord will see us some day
We're on to victory, we're on to victory
We're on to victory some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We're on to victory some day
We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand some day
We are not afraid, we are not afraid
We are not afraid today
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We are not afraid today
The truth shall make us free, the truth shall make us free
The truth shall make us free some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
The truth shall make us free some day
We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace
We shall live in peace some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall live in peace some day
We shall overcome. The lord will see us through. We're on to victory. We'll walk hand in hand. We are not afraid. The truth shall make us free. We shall live in peace.
Let us spread and repeat our message until all the world hears us. I believe in us.
