It's International Blog Against Racism Week. And I can't seem to get my LJ act together and I'm sick with an evil death cold and to add insult to injury, I got my period this morning. *throws hands up* I just can't brain. So I'm gonna cheat

You know, I've heard and/or seen that probably 50 times if I've seen it once and it never, ever ceases to inspire me. I could probably recite and you'd think it would be rote and boring to me by now, but it has never become so. It is still the singularly most awe inspiring heart clenching speech ever witnessed. And as unpopular as this opinion might be, I honestly believe that if you can watch or listen to that speech and not be enthralled and really feel it, if you don't feel the hair on the back of your neck raise or the wetness in your eyes, there is just something wrong with you.

Super cool fact: On August 28th, 2008, exactly 45 years later, Obama will accept the Democratic Candacy for President at the National Convention.

Your post inspired a semi-coherent ibarw post of mine. Thank you. ^^;;

I have, many times, watched this speech. And I never fail to have a clogged-up throat and tears. Thanks for reminding me to enjoy it again.

And hope.
