Rev. Al Sharpton was on FIRE.....

His eulogy for George Floyd hit so many raw nerves of the past 401 years. I was in tears.

Tjough high fiving when he spoke about the man in front of a church holding a Bible he has never read.

The service was powerful.

Had to go out for a while. When I got home and turned on the tv, Rev Al was chasing roaches. Damn, he's a powerful speaker!

From listening to the tv post-discussions and then reading things here in DU, I'm guessing I missed quite a bit. Would have loved to see the entire service.
