I am almost shaking in my boots. Very much affected by her pain, honesty, rightful indignation, clarity, reference to how when blacks were so succesful in those two places I had never heard of, how these were destroyed by whites. I am learning anew about asking "Why", not "What" and the monopoly game--masterfully illustrated. I felt like I was drowning, gasping for air. Fortunately I'd also just listened to Obama and other young leaders, which left me with some hope.</div>
