This was about dignity. This was about respect. This was about the sign, that iconic sign we would see all the time, i am a man. And there should have been something that said i am a woman. But that was about human dignity. For me, its really a reminder of what this work is all about. And, you know, i always appreciate gains, but im never really satisfied. And as long as we have the homicide rate, even though its going down, in the United States of america that we see, and mayor strickland talked about the en cars ration rate, thity literacy rate, the Unemployment Rate, every possible indicator that you can measure in many instances on the good side africanamericans and other people of color at the bottom, on the bad side at the top, and especially black men, and so for me, it was, you know, the awesomeness of the moment, but also a reminder that when we get back home, there is still more work to be done.
