Thanks for this. I am fortunate, I work with a lot of folks (HCBU) who were involved in that movement.

That movement never fails to astound me. Community-based pre-Internet example of what people can do.

Thank you for this post Doc.
After what I witnessed yesterday it's nice to see this post and know that people really care.
Yesterday I logged onto a gaming site and was treated to a lot of people using the "n" word, cursing out the democrats and some going so far as to say they hoped our pres. elect would be assassinated. I was going to report the people as the company running the game doesn't allow racial slurs, etc. but the type was going by too fast and I noticed that two other people mentioned that they were going to report the behavior. Maybe it was due to my shock that it seemed like it was a lot of people posting that kind of crap.. I'm hoping that is the case ...as was, I turned off the general chat so that I didn't have to read anymore hate rants. People, they always surprise me and for the most part, they disappoint me.
We made history and I, for one, thinks it's timely and hope the next four years can be years of unity, peace, and Americans coming together for the common good.
Hope....dreams....it's all we really have, eh?

May the ones who loved them be at peace with their contribution. May their souls rest there, and may they not have to do it all over again in the underworld.
