So right on target...compassionate and graceful, but still so honest in insisting that we do better. Love her! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503815206998568821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283569725589938503.post-91657712603106624612009-12-29T07:53:24.565-08:002009-12-29T07:53:24.565-08:00This is a powerful speech.

It only reports that which will build up it viewership. Unfortunately, programs that show you both sides of any situation or country are not viewed by a "wide berth" of people, so those perspectives are not well known. I hope many people have an opportunity to see this clip. I have done my part by e-mailing it to friends and posting it on my Facebook page.<br /><br />On another note, but somewhat connected, there is more than one story to every person you know or meet, too.<br /><br />Thank you for posting this speech.Divine Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748708405399586729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283569725589938503.post-32670100745448842132009-11-18T20:52:38.333-08:002009-11-18T20:52:38.333-08:00Thank you for this post.

Instantly, I thought of the many single stories that I have come across throughout my life. I also thought of my old African History professor,Dr. Mahoso of Zimbabwe, who suffered under the single story . His british professors gave him a single story of african history. But after he heard ... Read Morescholars and historians ,such as, Cheikh Anta Diop..."I had to unlearn" the british story and "relearn" the african one.........He had a ......... CONSCIOUS PARTY!!!
