Reporting In From Denver

I only have a moment to write before I have to speak at the Progressive Democrats of America panel discussion on Healthcare Not Warfare, but I want to tell you about the event I did last night at the Convention Center. The Nation, the Denver Public Library and Rocky Mountain PBS sponsored "From Fannie Lou Hamer to Barack Obama: How the Civil Rights Movement Changed American Politics." John Nichols, political writer for The Nation, interviewed me on my experiences in the Civil Rights Movement and conventions and campaigns past and present. We were also treated to performances of musical compositions of the very talented David Avram, including a few songs by the Colorado Children's Chorale. I'll add photos to the event to the gallery later today.
