But this paragraph in her Sojo piece points to her piece reflecting NAACP and Press Club speeches: "On Friday, Bill Moyers interviewed Wright in an hour-long conversation. (Watch it here.) On Sunday, Wright preached at an NAACP fundraiser in Detroit that attracted 10,000 people. (Watch parts 1 [intro], 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.) Finally, on Monday morning, Wright addressed a packed National Press Club in Washington, D.C. However different the venues, a surprisingly common thread wound through all three speeches -- that a realistic understanding of history forms the spiritual basis of hope and healing." -Diana Butler Bass from http://sojo.net I thought Obama was appropriately firm yesterday, and hope Indianans can see through the hype to the real issues. Grief, though, is indeed appropriate. http://adamjcopeland.com I thought the same thing about Diana Butler Bass’s comments, especially because she is usually so good.
