Yeah, his wife couldn't figure out my phone's camera. There was an awkward 30 secs of "hold on" that I was giggling about.

Thank you so much for the photos. What a day. And yes I can see it was moving. Religion, for better or worse is part of the civil right movement. No reason to buy in to anything beyond the movement.

Mostly, I think an anti-button would be a bad idea here. And then I see posts like this one. What exactly do you think you are accomplishing?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

The influence of southern black churches in the civil rights movement cannot be understated. It is difficult in that charged setting to not get swept up in the sheer emotion of it all. We stood outside that chapel in Selma and watched the service (or at least some small portion of it... it was a good 4 hours of bloviating) outside on a jumbotron. It really was funny to see Sharpton and Jackson compete for who had the most holy spirit. When Al started to end every word with "-uh" I was laughing aloud.

"I-uh want-uh to say to you-uh! This-uh cannot stand-uh! This-uh will not stand-uh! We-uh will-uh prevail-uh!"

It strikes me as very sad that even after the utter atrocities that we acknowledge just 50 years ago, there are still people in this country that want to make voting for minorities more difficult. These pretenders who claim to love democracy are loath to allow everyone the same chance to represent themselves because they are likely to disagree.
