179. Carl Bernstein 15 years ago: Black Americans know how much the vote counts.

I will never forget hearing Carl Bernstein at the Detroit Economic Club about 15 (maybe 20) years ago. He eloquently explained just how much black Americans know how precious their vote is. It has, throughout their history, either been denied them, or saved them.

I have never forgotten that speech. This might be post of the year so far.

Enthusiastically recommended by this white guy whose grandparents came over on the boat from Scandinavia, and who - as they did - accepts American history as my history.
