There were so many speakers from vastly diverse backgrounds and with a broad number of issues. Rev Barber as always was a very moving speaker. Joan Baez phoned in to sing "Ain't nobody gonna turn me around." I wish everybody could have been there. Wish *I* could have been there. I watched it on livestream.com

It may be possible to watch it now even though the event is over
