Sometimes technology is amazing. Bob and I are sitting in our bedroom, him in his chair, me on the bed, listening through Bobs computer to an amazing converence celebrating the fiftieth anniversity of the Voting Rights Act So many amazing people from civil rights history are speaking. Right now I am listening to Jimmy Carter talk about his history growing up in the segregated south and the experiences he had as a poor farmers son in a mostly African American community. He is reminding us that the honoring of racial equality has not proceded as far as it should and telling us we are too complacent about the current status of race relations. On a lighter note, President Carter is talking about having been in the front row when when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruths home run record. It is just wonderful to be so connected with events and ideas so easily and in the comfort of my warm room.
