10. VIDEO with Barbara Jordan and the backstory to today's event at TSU:

This video is about many things, skip to @5:20 to hear about the famous Barbara Jordan. It's a short clip of her keynote speech at the DNC and it's very clear what the Democratic Party stands for and makes me wonder how anyone could reject it.

Her sonorous voice is not as apparent there, but to me as a teenager it was an important part of the background of my life, and it was a special time. I thought it would never end, even though the seeds to destroy our vision had already been planted.

Listen to her elucidate what we believe. It's the kind of inspiration we had then, and don't have now. Let's work on these ideas, not the horse race the media makes the process seem so cheap, everyone. Real lives are at stake.

It also goes into just a small part of the stories of those who have been disenfanchised by the GOP.
