The discussion will be moderated by Chris Alabi & Ibi Davies... See you on Thursday May 6th at 7pm PT! Words on Marble: "Our bodies are tired, and our feet are somewhat sore, but today as I stand before you and think back over that great march, I can say as Sister Pollard said, a seventy-year-old Negro woman who lived in this community during the bus boycott and one day she was asked while walking if she wanted a ride and when she answered, 'No,' the person said, 'Well, aren't you tired?' And with her ungrammatical profundity, she said, 'My feet is tired, but my soul is rested.' And in a real sense this afternoon, we can say that our feet are tired, but our souls are rested." - MLK
