I went to a rally this past fall in my small city and the sight of thousands of people (not as many as Chicago of course) and hearing the speakers live and unfiltered by the media was truly inspiring.

At the rally, Myrlie Evers the wife of slain civil right's leader Medgar Evers received the NAACP's Spingarn Medal posthumously for her husband's outstanding leadership. Mayor Richard J.
