Watch This

Alfre Woodard reads "Ain't I a Woman?", a speech delivered by abolitionist Sojourner Truth at the Women's Convention in 1851. Part of a reading from Voices of a People's History of the United States (Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove,)February 1, 2007 at All Saints Church in Pasadena, CA.  WE end Black History Month and begin Women's History Month with a powerful reading by Alfre Woodard.  It gave me chills to watch it.

Hi,

Haven't visited for a while. Was listening to all the tornado stories in the mid west and maybe I'd check in on you. Have enjoyed seeing your puppy and the clouds and all the great political cartoons.

I too almost missed the Blues at the White House. My only complaint about it was that it ended too soon.
