Never really had too much respect for political acumen but this speaks well of her on a personal level. Met her a few years back in the Village at a restaurant where I was celebrating my birthday.

before he gets the crowds to sing this verse with him pete seeger always tells people

this is the most important verse of the song. one morning, at a bridge outside selma we saw up ahead of us the men with dogs and fire hoses ready to attack us. some of the young folks started to sing:

We are not Afraid. (but they were)
We are not Afraid. (they sang anyway)
We are not Afraid Today. (they sang it loud)

Oh deep in my heart
I do believe
We are not afraid
Today.

We must be ready, win or lose, to continue to fight this evil Sister Donna speaks of here. When my history is written and reviewed by descendants I want them to know that I was part of the solution to the awesome country they live in and not one those who chose to be the problem.

That was the most inspiring thing I have seen in a long time. Thanks for pointing it out.

I've been dismissing Donna Brazile as irrelevant ever since finances forced her to bail on the Ohio campaign for Gore in 2000. I'm so impressed with her lately that I'd follow her anywhere.

Amen sister! And here's the deal -- the Republican oligarchs are wanting to send all of us to the back of the bus. Ain't no white, no black, no shade of brown to do with it, if you ain't one of the oligarchs, you head to the back of the bus. So let's put this bullshit racism to rest. It ain't whites against blacks. It's us against the folks who want to send all of us to the back of the bus, and if we let them do it, we damn well deserve what we gonna get.
