It was at the 150th birthday party of The Nation, and it was on one of the few days a year when I was actually going to be in Washington. Usually, Katrina's things are on dates when I'm 4000 miles away.

Barber was there, and I asked him if he would be speaking at the Democratic convention the next year. He said no one had approached him. I put in a word with my DNC contact, and lo and behold, he was on the program, and was as spellbinding as always.
