This week I got home in time to watch the end of Cory Booker’s 25 hour marathon speech on the floor of the US Senate. The longest in history! It was not lost on me (or anyone) that he broke the record held by Strom Thurman who used his time in an attempt to defeat the Civil rights Act of 1957. Seemed fitting!
As he concluded, Booker recalled the life and influence of Rep John Lewis. My paraphrase (you really should watch Booker!) is that we need to do something!
So I did!
I signed up and attended the Hands Off Rally in Greensboro, NC! I was astonished by the turnout. It was America! Men and women of all races, young and old,k concerned about the future and present of our country!
Here are a few images!
Let’s continue the movement. Let’s get in good trouble! Our world depends on it!
