a good night for civil rights
Quite a show at the Austin Four Seasons tonight for the Texas Civil Rights Project. 400 folks, pleasant chatter amongst the guests, serious words from the podium. These are hard times in Civil Rights said Jim Harrington, if you don't fight this battle each and every one of you, then nobody will. Felix Justice did a complete King speech about nonviolence during times of war. Since King is our great American philosopher, the speech keeps on punchin thru the madness. Danny Glover read poetry from Langston Hughes. You shouldda heard him whisper, "America was never America to me." Add that to the experience of seeing Amy Goodman play to a room full of indymedia folks on campus and you gotta feel that the people are risin up.

1. Thanks Greg
Your posts are always insighful and your site is a valuable resource.

Hearing Danny Glover and Amy Goodman would have been worthwhile by themselves.

2. Thanks Greg from me too
I really wanted to go. Would have loved to see Danny Glover. I'm so happy he did this.

TCRP rocks!

Give us an Indymedia conference update report too. Or if you write about it a link to your story. So glad to have your updates posted here. You are a wonderful resource Greg.

Sonia
