2. K&R. But I'd nominate this man,

the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who spoke at Coretta Scott King's funeral... :applause:

He appears fairly early in this clip:

3. Isn't he giving the benediction? I was extremely happy to see Rev Lowery on the list. Hope I'm

not mistaken.

4. yes, Lowery is giving the benediction, but it is an insult...

...to Lowery and other fair-minded Americans for Lowery to have to share the podium with someone like Rick Warren. How would Martin Luther King Jr. have felt if he'd been asked to give JFK's inaugural benediction only to learn that the KKK's Grand Wizard had been given equal status and honor in being asked to deliver the invocation?

5. Really?! I did not know that!

Guess I wasn't paying enough attention. Brilliant pick! I will never forget his speech at Coretta Scott King's funeral, nor Jimmy Carter's... :D
