People:
The testaments..........lives changed, lifted.........it is just stirring. The wife just cracked up everyone and the son dispelled all doubts that he can carry the legacy. The next is the Rev. Jesse Jackson with the eulogy after each segment of society has been heard from. His daughter just finished singing.
Marion created the first bastion of African American millionaires as Don Pebbles whom he lifted as a 24 year old now running a 4 billion dollar business. The elderly, the youth, appointing women to untraditional leadership position....the voiceless....all because Marion stood up and used the power of government to change society......not oppress it. Even Newt Gingrich's tribute video acknowledged so. Oh, the mayor-elect Muriel did not disappoint! She promised to carry the mantle...
Please people, we owe it to the civil rights leaders and era......I am in awe and indebted.
We can do something in Black History Month........to salute the greatness of those who made it possible for us. Thus far, the African immigrant knows pretty little of the strides.
What a moment unfolding....the last in a 3 day tribute.
